Days of Old

Oh the days of Old! Per a Christmas present from my parents, Jer and I were able to go and enjoy a night at Pere Marquette Lodge last weekend.



What a marvelous and relaxing night! We left early in the afternoon to enjoy some time at the lodge before heading off to Grafton for dinner. We lounged in the pool and then got ready for a relaxing dinner on the river. We decided to hit a winery and brewhaus newly opened in downtown Grafton. What a wonderful idea! They have free wine tastings...so we got to sample a new brand of wines we've never had before. Then we enjoyed a laid-back meal from their amazing deck. The deck is set up above the landscape a bit and overlooks the river. Luckily a breeze blew in sometime after we sat down and helped cool the stifling humidity. We watched the sunset and drank our way through 2 bottles of wine before calling it a night. It was an amazing chance to talk to Jer about things we didn't realize we'd not shared over the past few weeks, reminisce about our beautiful son and what the future will hold for us. It was an amazing time!







As a side note...if you haven't taken a night recently to go out and spend time with your spouse, DO IT NOW. Make your marriage important. With the recent news of Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce (which makes me immensely sad), I feel it is more important than ever to respect the sanctity of marriage and take time to talk to your spouse. Love on them and remind each other why you got married in the first place. It's so so important!
