Booking an adventure

Trying to be romantic is not my strongest attribute. I am very non-romantic. i am not one of those women who swoon at gooey words and idiotic sentiments. So when I decide to plan a romantic getaway for my adorable spouse it is a big deal.

I sent my husband some sites of B&B's down in Oregon. He e-mailed me back that he would rather explore something in Washington. Fair enough. He has grown up in Oregon & knows the area quite well. He wanted to go to the Puget Sound area. Cool. Great place. Beautiful scenery, overall an excellent choice. I locate a great B&B. I send him the itinerary. He looks at the distance and decides it is too far.

Well, of course it is far. It is the frigging PUGET SOUND!!

I breathe deeply; I want to give this man a romantic weekend. Damn it!! And I will if it kills him.

But I do not want him dead. I want him alive so he can relax and enjoy being together.

I re-begin my search. This time I have just decided I will find the B&B, make the reservations and let him know all about it after I have taken care of it.

I believe I have found the perfect place. It is in Wall Walla in the heart of Washington Wine country. It is only about 2 1/2 hours away, thus not taxing us on the drive.

It is official. Romantic weekend is set.

Here is the B&B where we will be "relaxing". It is just beautiful.
