Some pics from our little getaway last weekend. After an insanely busy week at work for Vince (over 70 hrs!) he needed a getaway so on Saturday morning we made the impromptu decision to hit the road and go north. First stop was a winery that we've been wanting to go to for some time, and turns out it quickly became one of our favorites.
We took home a few favorites...
We then made our way to Northfield where we enjoyed a little walk through their quaint little downtown and found ourselves at this oil & vinegar store! They weren't giving out samples right now due to the Rona (lame) so we took our chances on a bottle of basil oil and a rosemary oil. Can't wait to see what we (ok, Vince) will create with them.
This bench was adorbs! However the bakery was already closed :/
We loved this store...The Measuring Cup! Guess what I bought there?
We stayed at the AmericInn in Northfield, ordered pizza from George's Vineyard, sat by the fire, and went in the hot tub and pool which made me remember how much I loved swimming as a kid. Every summer I rode my bike to the pool every chance I got with my friends, cousins, or my brother and sister. It gave me the idea of joining the new YMCA! I can see myself swimming there, maybe even taking swimming lessons? I can do that at 51, right? Why not?!!! Vince is all for it, he misses working out on the weight machines. And with a 50% discount from my work, it's totally doable!
We got home early Sunday afternoon and I couldn't wait to use my new purchases...
I put stickers on recipes that I have tried and liked and this one earned a sticker.
It wasn't the best chocolate cake I've ever had, but it was good and good chocolate cake is always worth it.
