Betsy and I went down to Virginia this past week. It was a wonderful trip, and we hit two birds with one stone. We celebrated our anniversary at The Cedars Bed & Breakfast, and we had a big family gathering for Christmas.
The B&B was great. We had picked it out as the B&B for us a few years ago. We just love its style, and how homey and cozy it looked. And it was definitely both. I found that in just those two days we spent there I had already started calling it "home". We stayed in the cottage, which is a little carriage house behind the main house. We chose it for a few reasons: beautifully decorated, private, and a gas fireplace. Of course we didn't need to worry about privacy, because we were the only people in the whole B&B for those two nights. We found out that we were the calm before the storm. From this past weekend to the new year, they are booked solid.When we arrived they had sprinkled rose petals on our bed and had chilled some sparkling cider for us, a dozen roses also perfumed the air. It was very romantic. And of course the gas fireplace was wonderful, especially for Betsy. It felt perfect, it was perfect. I would highly recommend The Cedars Bed and Breakfast to anyone.
We also spent Thursday touring CW (Colonial Williamsburg). Unfortunately, it rained all day. We had a good time though, and I learned a good bit. Poor Peyton Randolph would've been a name we all know today, but he died too early. Too bad.
It was a great anniversary all-in-all. Now its time to start planning next year...

At first I thought the previous comment was spam, but I took a look and its legit. My mom always wanted to be a park ranger, so this was so interesting reading.
