My Birthday Weekend

I was so excited for my birthday weekend. I started off with taking Thursday and Friday off work, YAY. Then on Thursday, which was my actual birthday, we went shopping the whole day with Alex and my mom which I already posted about. Then we got up early Friday finished packing up and headed on our way to PUT-IN-BAY! The drive was fun and didn't seem to take to long, we hit some rain which made me worry cause I didn't want our whole weekend rained out. But by the time we got to the ferry the rain had stopped it had warmed up a little and was sunny. The ferry ride over was so relaxing, it was my first ferry ride, and I had so much fun. It was slightly cold but still fun. Then we got there and drove around til we find our bed & breakfast. Once we did we got settled in and unpacked and changed then headed down to walk around and see what there was to do in the downtown area. Then went back to the room and got ready for dinner. Alex picked the dinner spot for our first night so we went to a seafood place and I got a chicken sandwich and he got lobster mac & cheese. It was all good and we were stuffed. We walked around a little more then hung out in our room for a bit before going back out at night to see what the night life was like. We stopped at the Tiki Bar just down the street from our B&B hung out for a bit and listened to the entertainment and then headed out to see what else there was to do.

Day two: We went to do a lot of the tourist-y stuff. We went to the Winery and did a tour of it and a tour of the Crystal Cave. Then we walked across the street and went to the other cave and the butterfly house. We did a little putt-putt and went back to the butterfly house to sit for a bit and watch the butterflies. On our walk back to our room we stopped at a chocolate museum/restaurant. We got some cheesecake to share and walked around at the mini museum part of it and continued back to our room. We changed for dinner went out to walk around and check out the shops again to look for souvenirs. We each got a t-shirt and i got a zip-up. Then we walked around a bit more then stopped at an italian restaurant and got a pizza. We took our stuff back to the room I threw on a heavier coat since it was getting a little colder and we headed back out to people watch and got some fresh hot apple cider.

 We got up on Sunday our last day their and packed up and ate breakfast and headed out and drove down to wear the monument was and got some pictures and hung out by he water for a bit just taking it all before we left to come back home. Then we drove to where the ferry was and in line for that for what took forever. We finally got on the ferry enjoyed the ride back.... sad that we were leaving but ready to go home and unpack and relax before starting back at work. Overall it was a good weekend and I was glad we finally got to go there and I can add that to my list of firsts, and glad most of my firsts are with my amazing hubby :)
