We had a great weekend. Got out of town to go visit "fallingwater". We left on Friday morning and drove in the pouring rain most of the day. We stayed in New Stanton at a nice Comfort Inn that Mike Mummert hooked up for us. We got a suprise when we went into our room, they upgraded us to the suite with a hottub in the room. It was nice blessing from the general manager of the hotel to do it for us. We rested on Friday afternoon and got in the car and started driving to see what we could find. We stumbled upon Greenburg, PA and found a cool restaurant that was formerly a train station. Had a good hour wait for a table and enjoyed people watching. The place was packed. Saturday we got up at 6am to be at Fallingwater for our 8:30am tour. Had a nice drive that morning and got to fallingwater on time. What an amazing experience it was to tour that house. We both had no idea what a beautiful place this is. It was more like a piece of art and we were touring inside of it. The thought and time they put into every detail was almost beyond words. It was nice being the first tour off because when we were finished, the place was packed. I think they take a new tour out every 15 minutes. After we left fallingwater, we once again just started driving, found a cool little town, Ohiopyle. The town is all driven by the beautiful river and the surrounding mountains. Bike rental shops, rental canoes and white water rafting trips. You could tell that the town buzzes in the summer with life. We stumbled upon some beautiful water falls right in the town and enjoyed them for a bit. We were both very relaxed at this point and just enjoyed being with each other in the middle of no where. I can now say I know what it's like to be married to your best friend. We then left Ohiopyle and stumbled upon some more beautiful water falls-cucumber falls. Hiked down to check them out (I almost fell into the water and Yvette makes this swimming motion with her arms, maybe flailing, to describe how I was trying to keep my balance, which I did, thank you very much). We then started driving back towards the hotel, which was about an hour away. Stumbled upon a few more little towns and things to see. We went back and had a nice nap and then went off to dinner. Found a great Italian restaurant and had a yummy meal. Sunday morning it was up and on the road. Very nice drive back in beautiful weather. Got home in the early afternoon and had time to relax before the week. It was one of the best weekends I've ever had. Just being with my girl and enjoying our time the Lord has blessed us with. It's hard to be apart from her now that we're both back to "real life". Bummer, but it is what it is. I just know that we will have many, many, many weekends like this and I'm already looking forward to them.
