While we don't celebrate Valentines in the traditional wining and dining, flowers and chocolate way, we did spend the night with friends feasting on burgers, cherry pie, and other little goodies. It was perfect send off to our weekend away.
A dear friend gave me an early birthday present in the form of a Valentines Getaway! One night at the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City, dinner for two, chocolates, and the beauty of nature helping us to focus on the "Strong Roots" that make us a couple. It was wonderful and very much needed.
Nick loved lounging in the log styled room-as you can tell. For me, I've always found the lodge to be this beautiful wealth of nature quotes that withstand the test of time. Like this quote carved unto rock above a fireplace or banners depicting different types of trees found in the world, I find it all to be so lovely.
Dinner was AMAZING!!! We were treated to a sampler appetizer with seafood ravioli, pork something on pretzel bread-yuck, and this soft cheese spread that we devoured! Our main dishes consisted of fillet and asparagus for Nick and a stuffed chicken dish for me. However, the shining star of the night was the delish and super-rich chocolate cake with chocolate covered strawberries~YUM!!!
Our weekend ended with a brisk walk through the hazelnut fields and into the winter-dreary forest. Even though it was chilly, it offered us a chance to snuggle up and walk close and quick. In utter silence, we marveled at the twisting of tree branches, a hollow tree, the chattering squirrel, and the faint song of the bird that reminded us that spring was coming.
