A Happy Valentine Weekend...

Andy, Liddy and I had a great extra long Valentine's day weekend! We both took Friday and Monday off (my office doesn't give us President's Day, probably because they give us the whole week at Christmas!) and headed up to Wintergreen. We really didn't have much planned, so it was nice to just relax and escape from cell phone/Blackberry coverage!

We had agreed ahead of time to skip doing gifts for Valentine's day, and instead I handled making a yummy breakfast and Andy took care of a wonderful candlelit (like all of our meals) dinner.

For breakfast I made Swedish Pancakes and even put a little Nutella on the insides, which is so yummy when it gets all melty! We also had some fresh fruit to put on top, and Andy was even greeted in bed with a fresh cup of coffee.



For lunch we both decided we had major cravings for Macados sandwiches, and it turns out there is a Macaodos in Lynchburg, which is just a 50 minute drive from the top of the mountain. A drive that was worth every mile! We enjoyed the scenery (it was a route we had never taken before) and were so happy to be able to enjoy our favorite sanwiches without having to drive to Virginia Tech. A great way to spend Valentines day!!



And because we hadn't already eaten enough, Andy cooked up a great dinner of grilled filets, mushrooms, twice baked potatoes, and roasted asparagus. Yum!

But wait, what's a Valentine's Day dinner without dessert!? Fortunately, I had made a strawberry cake, layered with strawberry frosting and fresh strawberries. A perfectly sweet ending to a perfect Valentine's day.



PS: We only both started eating again yesterday! ;)

Can we have that Swedish Pancake recipe please? The boys would love that before school.

Yes, I know I'm lame and the boys wouldn't mind a boxed premade version but maybe the long lost Swedish Greeley side of the family handed down a recipe.
