Weekend Recap

It's been kind of busy the past few days so I haven't had time to post. The weekend getaway was pretty good. All the alone time and being with my sweetie was great, but I would probably pick a different location next time. Actually this location wouldn't have been bad if we would have done some research in advance and had some things to do.

We got to the castle on Friday at about 7:30 p.m. We checked in and got to check out the cottage. It was nice, but definately more on the rugged cabin end of the spectrum than posh hotel suite. We used the jacuzzi tub, which was fun, but the water smelled like rust and we weren't allowed to use bubbles with the jets running. The cottage came equipped with a 13" TV/VCR combo and a supply of old movies, and by old I mean 1970's or earlier. The TV was only good for watching movies, no cable.

On Saturday we went to breakfast at the castle, which was ok, considering it was included in our room rate. Then we were stuck with the what do we do question. We took a walk around the property, but it was pretty cold out, so we decided to drive to a town to look for a Blockbuster to rent a movie to watch. The nearest town (15 miles) didn't have a Blockbuster so we drove to a bigger town about 30 miles away, back towards Columbus. We found a Blockbuster and rented a movie and then decided to head over to BW3's for lunch and to watch the OSU football game. We ended up watching the whole game and then made it back to the castle around 5:00 p.m. We hung out in the cottage until dinner in the castle. We ate at a table with another couple and were served by people dressed in Midevil clothes. Dinner wasn't great, but we had snacks back in the cottage. Then we went back and watched our movie.

Sunday we just got up packed and headed home. Back in Columbus, we went to watch the Matrix Revolutions movie in a matinee and then picked up Zeus from the kennel. Overall a decent weekend and we did get a chance to have some "romantic" time in a different setting than normal.
