A Weekend in Heaven!

Here are some pictures from our wonderful Second Anniversary trip to Apalachicola. We absolutely loved it. It is such a cute little town, everything is within walking distance and for some reason the restaurants are just about the best thing ever. The food was wonderful! Especially at "The Owl Cafe". There were so many restaurants where we wanted to eat (well ... it's not like there were THAT many, considering that the entire commercial district is about three square blocks) but we just didn't have enough room in our bellies!
We stayed at the Coombs House Inn which is a Bed and Breakfast (great bed, great breakfast) about a block away from everything. The main house was full, but the room that we chose on-line was in their second house, and we were the only ones in the whole house for most of the weekend! We had an entire half of the Inn to ourselves! I absolutely loved our room, we were in a corner on the second floor and we had a little bay window, so it was so bright and cheery! My very favorite part of Apalachicola was waking up to church bells every morning! I kept smacking David "Do you hear them? Do you hear that?" ... He was not as intrigued as I was.
So basically, the trip was perfect, it was refreshing to be in such a quiet little laidback town where everything closed after dinner time and Nothing is opened on Sundays. It's not the place to go if you want to be entertained. We spent time walking through gardens/parks an even reading on the big front porch together until we felt like it was dinner time. I didn't look at my watch the whole time I was there. It was like going back in time. Just what I needed to relax from a long year of work and worry. I think we will DEFINITELY go back!
