Mr. vB and I snuck away this weekend for an early Anniversary Celebration.  Have you guys ever been to Irvington, VA?  No offense to it, but if you blink too long you might miss it.  Surprisingly nestled right on one of its many creeks is a 5 Star Resort called THE TIDES INN. It was a very quick visit, but W-O-W! From start to finish it was amazing!

When we checked in, the front desk clerk told us that we had a note waiting for us.

(nice spelling of our last name, eh? )

We also found out that we had been upgraded to a suite overlooking the creek.

And we were in Room 213 nonetheless. (2=2nd Anniversary, 13= day we got married)

When we opened the door we were greeted with…

and these..

What a view!!

Once we got over the shock of our amazing digs, we decided to venture out.

Gotta love the self-timer.

I think these corkscrews might be Guinness World Record Worthy.

Before long it was time to head back! Cocktail hour was calling our name!

So the way dinner worked was that we had a server come up from the restaurant and take our order for each course of dinner.  We started with some cocktails and appetizers.

Then we each had a yummy salad.

The entrees were fabulous! I had the crab-cakes and Mr. vB had the Filet.

We ended the meal with a brownie sundae topped with whip cream! YUMMO!  It didn’t last long enough for any photos- Sorry!

It was such a nice treat being able to eat in the room vs. the restaurant.  Mr. vB and I loved watching the sun set and the boats coming in and out of the marina.

Many thanks to my Mums and Daddio for the special treat! It was such a great surprise!  And many thanks to the Tides Inn for making our anniversary getaway so memorable!
