A Romantic Getaway!

It's not often that my husband and I get a chance to just getaway on our own...when those opportunities come we JUMP at them!

For the past two years, we've been able to partake in some breathtaking sites...mostly from the Caribbean, thanks due to his place of employment that send award members there in the spring. 

This year, however, due to economy struggles, it will not be available...to say that we were saddened would be an understatement...yes, yes, it's marvelous to be treated like kings and queens for a long weekend...but really, it's mostly about the fact that we get alone time...time to talk without being interuppted by tiny voices needing more juice, help with homework or competitions on the Wii:) 

That said, I thought it would be a good idea to "surprise" him with a special getaway of our own last month. 

I was able to locate this little place nestled in the Hocking Hills...it felt like another country with all it's cobblestone and european flair...

Needless to say, we had a most relaxing and refreshing time...since it was a Scottish glen, I (being crazy & a tad artsy at times) thought it appropriate to give our time away a "theme"...thus, let's just say that Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Scotland Yard might have been mentioned a few times in the clues, texts and magnifying glass I hid around his car and office on the day of:) 

I thought you'd enjoy some of the scenery...If you are ever in the area and are looking for a peaceful, private, relaxing and unique way to refresh...I would strongly recommend Glen Laurel:)
