A weekend getaway and the cutest measuring cups on the planet

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.  

Icecream, coffee, 80's music and black lights

What do all these things have in common?  A fun weekend!

It was a beautiful Saturday, our teenagers were both working, so it was the perfect recipe for a date day!  Vince and I had lunch at Acoustic (of which I took no pictures - gah!).  After that we were in the mood for some coffee and icecream, so we decided to take a little road trip.  Rushford is a cute little town with big character.  It sits in a bowl, a valley surrounded by bluffs, so there is beautiful scenery wherever you look.

You can't see it in the picture, but on the side of the hill it says Rushford spelled out in white rock...just like we have in Rollingstone.

I had heard great things about the icecream here over the years, so we decided to give it a try.  They did NOT disappoint!

All the rumors are true...their icecream is delish!

We both want to come back sometime and try their pizza because I've heard good things about that too.  

They said nothing about unattended husbands?!

Downtown Rushford is also home to one of my favorite local coffee shops... 

I've been here a couple times before, but this was Vince's first time.  It's worth the drive :)

Sunday!!  

Vince, Trevor, Hope and I went to MOA!  It was great having Trev with us, those days don't happen very often anymore with our busy schedules.  

We started the day off at my favorite MOA restaurant...Johnny Rockets!

Trevor's big idea was the hit of the afternoon...black light minigolf!

I think I was the most excited of all of us about the black light effect :)  

I kept saying "I love my shoes!! and kept making everyone look at them.

80's music + 80's theme'd artwork + this girl = SO MUCH FUN!
