I knew we were going on a trip.
I did not know where we were going.
On Friday Derek and I packed up and headed out.
When we got to the first main road Derek asked if I wanted him to turn left or right.
Uhhhhh......say what?
I of course grilled him for several minutes......you DO have a plan right?
Reservations?
Directions?
He gave up nothing. We drove for a while.
He never consulted a map or directions or gps.
We were headed north on country highways. It was a beautiful drive and I was mostly not nervous. We stopped somewhere for supper and I had a yummy steak and garlic mashed potatoes. Then we kicked around at a car show for a bit.
It was a leisurely afternoon/evening and Derek acted like we didn't have a care in the world. I was starting to wonder if he had a tent in the back of the van.
We finally arrived in Cross Lake, MN and pulled up at this lovely bed & breakfast called Birch Hill Inne. I asked if he had seen photos of the place online. He said no. I was worried about something too frilly and foofy or somewhere with lots of dead animals on the walls of our room. This place was just right.Goldilocks would have loved it!

We stayed in the Norway Room. It was my favorite of all the rooms! Of course Derek had done his homework, looked at all of the rooms online, made reservations weeks ahead of time and knew just where we were going all along!!!
It was a wonderful and romantic weekend away!
