We got to Johnson's Mill about 5:30pm Sunday night. It wasn't hard to find even though it's a little secluded. Everything about it was comfortable. The lady checked us in then gave us a tour: office, dining room, and sitting area on the main floor- oh, by the way, there's some freshly baked chocolate cake if you want. Basement- playing area: lots of movies and a TV, fooseball table, fridge with drinks, and microwave popcorn. Second floor had 4 rooms, one of which was ours- the Waterfall Room. The very top floor is the Waterfall Terrace (one of the most expensive rooms).Our room was really nice. There was a king-sized bed that needed stairs, as well as a gas fireplace and comfy couch. We had a balcony overlooking a stream. It's called the Waterfall Room because to one side is a waterfall that you can listen to all night. In the bathroom, there's a large, 2-person tub and a separate shower. All in all, one of the nicest places I've stayed.
I brought dinner with us so we wouldn't have to shop on Sunday. I brought London Broil, a baguette with herb cheese spread, a green salad, fruit, and vanilla brownies. We ate in front of the fire- very romantic. Later, we cuddled up on the bed with a bowl of popcorn and played a computer game.
We spent most of the day just relaxing, talking, and having fun. We played some board games, read, and watched a movie. It snowed in the morning, but we decided to go for a walk exploring the grounds in the afternoon. We bundled up and headed out. We only lasted 10 minutes. It was so cold and windy!!! We came in and got ourselves some hot cider (cider and hot chocolate are always available). We were lounging in the sitting area by the fire, listening to music. The lady in the office came out and said she was going to make some cookies. When Steve asked what kind, she said double chocolate. His face fell and I told her that Steve didn't like chocolate. She then said that she would make peanut butter instead and if we gave her our cell number, she'd text us when the first batch came out of the oven- which she did! Later, she told us to take all the cookies up because we were the only guests there that night. She even gave us a tour of some of the rooms so we could look at them.
Tuesday morning, we had french toast, eggs, fruit, and bacon for breakfast- just us. We packed up our stuff and headed out to pick up Anna. We had hoped to go for a sleigh ride, but it's hard when there's no snow.It was a really nice weekend. We got to sleep in, relax, and spend some time just the two of us. I'm so lucky to have the wonderful husband and daughter that I have. I am a truly blessed woman.
