Shane and I just got home from a 2 day getaway to a Bed and Breakfast called The Heritage Park Inn in Old Town. it was wonderful. We left Wednesday evening and arrived down there around 5. We stayed in the Queen Anne room (the only room that could accommodate a pack and play). The place was very charming and homey. We ate at Old Town the first night and walked around a bit. We returned to our room (where Tegan did not sleep so well) and read and read and read. It was so nice to be able to read so much-in a row. We woke up the next morning and got ready for breakfast at 8:30. I had wanted to sleep in-didn’t happen (because of Tegan, not the breakfast). The staff were so very friendly and make killer breakfasts for us. The food was beautiful and delicious and we were served on the front veranda. It was beautiful.
We were off to the Zoo (felt a little guilty going without Ethan). We walked around and saw various animals. It was nice to just relax and do as we pleased. We drove from there to North Park, where my grandpa and his family once lived. We saw the newly renovated theater that my great-great uncle helped build and saw his old house. I love craftsmen style houses and they are all over in North Park. We then went to Seaport Village for an overpriced lunch, but ate with a view of the harbor. The day was beautiful-clear but not too hot. Back the our room to read and nap a bit (Tegan and I), then downtown for dinner. Indecisive me, we drove around for quite some time before settling on Star of India. We had delicious spicy curry dishes and nan and it was very good. After that, back to Old Town to meet a coworker of Shane’s and his wife. Shane talks to the guy online all of the time, so being face to face to hang out was cool and it was so nice to meet them. They were both very nice and it is too bad we don’t live closer. Hopefully we will get to hang out more. Then, this morning, another delicious breakfast and back home to get Ethan. Tegan was awesome through the whole trip and did great. We had a great time just being away and being mellow. Ethan had a great time with his grandparents and already wants to go back. I hope we can do it again soon.
