two year anniversary trip

 miguel & i took time off of work this past week & took a little trip to guerneville, ca to celebrate our two year anniversary that was last month : ) we took advantage of a travelzoo deal & had a fantastic time at boon hotel & spa. we had room nine & it was such a nice room!

 we got there late & there was a little note to us & a gift bag with a bottle of wine, wine tasting passes, & a $50 spa voucher. everything was so personal & lovely.

 we were so excited to be there! we went out to the main street in the little town, trying to find a restaurant still open. we found one that had live music & had pizza & ravioli & chocolate lava cake. the lava cake was super delicious. then we made it back to the room & just relaxed watching food network.

 morning came & i slept really good for not being in my own bed. (this bed was so comfy!). i started a fire in our in-room fireplace & just enjoyed the great design of everything.

 the shampoo & conditioner were really nice. i loved them! so, miguel bought me a bottle of each to take home ;)

 the owner of the hotel delivered our breakfast on a tray. it included french press coffee, biscuits with jam, orange juice, & fruit with yogurt. simple but delicious!

 we spent the morning just relaxing in bed & sipping coffee.

 we checked out of the hotel & it was time for the exploring to begin. we drove less than a mile north to the armstrong redwoods. these redwoods are so beautiful & majestic. the photos don't do them justice.

 by around 1pm we were getting hungry again (ok i was getting hungry again) & we decided to find a place to eat in town. we stopped at big bottom market. i just loved the look of this place!

 then we window shopped a little & hopped in the car to make our way through a couple of other towns, stopping along the way whenever we pleased, until we reached our dinner destination.

 we weren't exactly hungry for dinner around 7pm (because we were eating along the way!) & miguel had some homework to do, so we stopped in starbucks & he sketched while i watched parenthood (i'm so addicted to that show now by the way!). it was just so perfect. the whole trip was so relaxing & nice.

we finished the trip at rosso pizzeria for dinner as a part of restaurant week. we then made the long journey home. such a good trip!
