bed & breakfast, biking (and not so biking), eating, and just plain fun

we just got back from the cutest bed and breakfast in midway called The Johnson Mill. it is beautiful there. they have 25 acres and it's immaculately landscaped. we went with some of our best friends, jim and jessica. no kids. we were excited. i know people don't really read blogs, you just want the pictures. so here they are... but we warned.... i took over 200 pictures in 3 days.... and we had a blast (as you will see)....

the first night we ate at The Stew Pot. the food was delish...

the second day we went biking.... we were told it was a novice trail.... uh, yeah somebody lied. ok, alright i'll admit it. i am out of shape. everyone else was kicking my butt and i actually thought i was going to pass out. i had to stop and lay down for a few times a couple times. the funny part of it all what that i told tj we were going to do all 7.5 miles up the trail and then back. a quarter of a mile into it and i wanted to DIE! i manned up and went another mile or so and finally told tj, jim, and jessica to go ahead without me. i turned around, found a bench and took a twenty minute nap until tj came a woke me up. that being said, the view was beautiful and though i am a total wuss, i did have a lot of fun...

this is me about to die after 1/2 mile. yeah, just cause you're skinny doesn't mean you're in shape.

i may be ready to throw up, but i can always pose like a tiger for the camera.

so what if we said we would bike the whole 15 miles and only did 5 (3 for me)? we were still super proud of ourselves...

 after the grueling bike ride, we went back to the b&b. everyone fell asleep except for me. i walked around the trail and took some more pictures of the beautiful place. i got a new camera so i had to test it out... of course. if you don't have an SLR, you have to get one. they are amazing. none of these photos have been retouched or edited...

we stayed in the presidential suite which is the house on the right. it was awesome!

when everyone finally woke up, we took the paddle boats for a little cruise around the pond. then went to dinner at this quaint little italian restaurant.... mamma mia, it was so good!

yes jim was there. he just had to grab the camera for a quick photo...

ok here come the AWESOME pictures you've been waiting for. you know us bains by now. we take some funny pics! we call them our engagement pics...

 here are some more dorky pictures of us... let's just say thank goodness for whoever invented the 'timer' mode on the camera...

having someone else make breakfast is the best!

after a while, our husbands got sick of taking pictures so jessica and i decided it was time for OUR engagement pics...

and that was about it for our short 2.5 day trip....
