The Secret Garden & The Homeless Girl

Kelly and I spent a night at the Anniversary Inn on Veteran's Day. We got to stay in the Secret Garden room and it was really nice. We had never stayed there before and we are thinking that it won't be the last time we go there. They provided us with lots of yummy food to eat (which I liked) and the room was really nice (which Kelly liked). This was our fancy bed and I liked to look down to the other end and see the stone archway.

Once you got through the archway, you found this fancy room with a jetted tub. We always try to stay in places that have a jetted tub. We got to eat cheese and crackers, drink cider, and eat cheesecake while we had a bath. That is what I call getting spoiled! Kelly made arrangement for us to have rose petals spread all over the room too. The best part was that Kelly packed for me and we just met at a park and ride after work. It was definitely a relaxing getaway, which was just what we needed.

Oh, and remember how I said that Kelly packed for me. . . .well, he packed some things for me. Apparently, he thinks that the best look for me in the middle of November is going topless. He packed my skirt, my boots, my slip, my socks, but no shirt of any kind. Hence, I looked like a homeless woman the next day at work because I wore his shirt and sweater from the day before. He was sure I needed to go and buy a shirt that matched, but I assured him that it would be okay.

No one said a word about how I was dressed which means that either I always look homeless or they were too embarassed to mention it. Oh well, that is why I love Kelly - because I never know what to expect Ü
It was a nice getaway and hopefully we will be able to go again some day, but I will be sure to pack next time.

sounds like a cool place. you know i dont know fashion but the sweater didnt look that bad, if it was a little smaller i think it would have passed as a good match. that is funny though that he forgot a shirt, eh wanted to show off his wifes bod!

I was thinking it was pretty brave of you to let Kelly pack for you! When we lived in Utah, Pete and I always went to the Anniversary Inn for our Anniversary. I love it and wish they had one here!

I love the Anniversary Inn. My favorite room is the Carriage Suite. Give it a try next time. By the way you looked cute. Not so homeless. Just wondering, why didn't you take the next day off work?

That's hilarious! We've never been to the Anniversary Inn either but have looked into it before. I remember liking the look of the Secret Garden room. Nice choice. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Mel, you need to check out the cache valley getaway....just google it. You can select anniversary inn as part of it and it includes dinner (but it is in Logan). We have found it is a good price for what you get...however, with children, and my parents in Africa, we have not taken advantage of it this year. Glad you had a chance to getaway. Too bad you had to get up and go to work! :( At least you got to wear a costume. :)
