Shay and I have officially been married for a year now. June 20th was our first anniversary. Shay was so sweet and booked us a weekend up at the Homestead. I had only been to the Homestead once before (to scuba dive) and thought the place was beautiful, so I was very excited to be going there to spend time with Shay!
We left Friday evening to head up to Midway. We stopped off at The Olive Garden for dinner. Now normally I would not be too thrilled about going to The Olive Garden (not my favorite Italian place) but since we had a gift certificate we decided to go there on our way up. I have to be honest, my dish was fabulous! Usually I strike out when ordering at The Olive Garden but this time was different! WAY YUMMY---too bad I don't remember the name of my dish.
Once we made it there we checked into our little cottage (Shay is pictured below standing in front of the cottage).
Below is the view from our cottage. It was so amazing to just sit outside and enjoy the beautiful few! In the distance, below the mountains, is Deer Creek Reservoir.
Me taking in the view.
Saturday we spent the day walking around the Homestead enjoy the amazing landscape, geese, food, activities, etc.
Below is a picture of the main lobby area. The flowers, landscaping, etc. is just breathtaking!
Pictures of us around the Homestead.
We had fun playing a few games of pool before dinner. Shay shocked me with his amazing pool playing abilities.
They even had a free "concert on the lawn" Saturday night that we were able to attend (apparently they have free concerts throughout the summer). The band was very good! Shay and I both loved the concert and are excited to return to attend again!
Picture of me watching the concert.
Sunday was our official anniversary and we enjoyed sleeping in before having to pack up and return to reality.
Thanks for an amazing anniversary get away Shay! One year down, eternity to go---so glad it is you I get to spend them with, you're amazing, love you!!!!!
