Romantic Get Away

Back from the secret trip. I can now reveal the destination: Lake Lure, NC. I rented a cabin for 2 nights. We left on Thursday early afternoon and it only took us a few hours to get there. We checked into our cute cabin. It was small, but it was what we needed. We went down to the lake and took out a canoe. Marsh has more rowing power than I do, but I did my best. After going out on the lake we had to go into town for Marsh's medicine and a few groceries. When we got back to the cabi I made dinner. Then we checked out the selling point for the cabin - the jacuzzi! We filled it up and relaxed. We definately need one of those in our house, when we get a house that is. Throw in some good sex, a little cuddling and call it a night.
Friday morning I made pancakes. I am horrible at making pancakes, which I already knew from previous experiences. They don't look so great, but they taste like normal pancakes, so I guess it's ok. A little morning cuddling before we went to Chimney Rock. We hiked to the falls. They were beautiful. I am so glad the weather was good, it was supposed to rain. There wasn't a cloud in the sky all day. After going to the top of Chimney Rock we went for a quick bite to eat. We also got a picture taken at one of those old time photo places. We look so cute. Back at the cabin we took a nap, then lounged before getting ready for dinner.
We went out for dinner at a nice place on the lake. I got dressed up in my new skirt, heels and matching purse (yeah I guess I am a girl afterall). Dinner was about $90 including tip, but we had a certificate from the people we rented the cabin from so it was only $50. It was nice. I cheated a little and had some scallops. If you know me, you know that I am vegetarian and not the kind that eats fish and poultry. I guess I am coming off it a little. I have been thinking about eating fish again. It's not like I have been hardcore, meat is murder veg for the last 5 years. So I don't think anyone can get on me for making the change. My philosophy has been all about personal choice.
Anyway, back to the weekend. After dinner we settled in the jacuzzi, then a little more sex and cuddling. Today we check out and went to Asheville. We found some pretty cool places to check out. We found this one store that we both loved that had Japanese/Chinese/Tibetian/Mongolian objects in it. Some of the things were beautiful. Marsh bought me this cute jewelry box. I love it. We had some pizza for lunch, and let me tell you it was an awesome pizza. We killed that thing. Usually I do not eat more than 2 slices at a sitting, but it was so good I had to eat more. We found a kickin' record shop. What I loved about it was how they seperated the music. Instead of lumping everything into a "pop/rock" category, they had seperate sections for "metal" "electronica" "hip-hop" "punk/emo/hardcore" and "cool bands you don't hear much about." I bought a few cds. I couldn't help it.
I really liked Asheville. We went to a few different parts of the city and loved them. I am adding it to a list of places I wouldn't mind living in. I've come to some realizations, but I will address them in a later post. Now I am going to do some laudry and get my mind ready to go back to work on Monday.
