For our 8th wedding anniversary Michael surprised me and took me to a bed and breakfast in Red Wing, MN. (Red Wing was named one of the top 25 historic destinations in the world by National Geographic Traveler. Maybe a bit overrated- there were only two US towns to make the list- but still a quaint, fun little town.)

He arranged the childcare (thanks Mom Gray) and gave me extra shopping money to buy new clothes for the trip. This was our first B&B experience and it was really fun. The breakfasts were some of the best I've ever had- wild rice and bacon quiche and blueberry french toast. I loved that they serve a small dessert at every breakfast- we had a raspberry triffle and pot de creme au chocolat. Now that's my kind of breakfast! I bought the recipe book and can't wait to try them out.

It was so nice to just relax and spend time together without the kids for a couple of days.

Michael surprised me with this slide show of pictures of us from the last 8 years. I loved it so much I watched 3 times in a row. Here it is for those interested- it's about 7 minutes long.
Michael, thanks for the best 8 years! You continue to make all my dreams come true.
