Graduation!!

YAH!!
I am officially graduated.
I am so excited to be done, finally.

Jason is the best husband ever.
For my graduation present he planned a weekend getaway
to the Blue Boar Inn, in Midway, Utah.
It was was so romantic and just so much fun!!
We left on Friday afternoon and didn't get home until Sunday evening. It was such
a nice break from Provo and school and work!

The Blue Boar Inn
It feels like a miniature Swiss-German castle!



Notice the boar...


Our room for the first night was especially romantic and cozy.
It was called the Robert Frost room,
and was decorated for him, with a natural, woodsy atmosphere.
There was a fireplace, game table, and layers of down comforters (my favorite!)
Upon arriving, we were greeted with crackers and cheeses and bottled water.
The first evening we had such a blast!
We went to Schneitters Restaurant at the Zermatt Resort for dinner.
We had salads, seafood, and all sort of delicious desserts.
We highly recommend it!

The night was really rainy, so after dinner we stayed in and played
games in our room and ordered hot chocolate.
We snuggled and watched a James Bond with the
fire crackling and the rain pelting in the background... it was so fun!!


The next morning we woke to beautiful Midway
and went to the dining room for breakfast,
as we were at a bed and breakfast...we were in for a surprise!
The breakfasts we had there were probably the best we have ever had!
Jason ordered the Grilled Salmon with Asparagus and Spring Potatoes,
while I had the Mountain Berry Griddle Cakes with Maple Sausage.
Amazing, that is all there is to say!



After breakfast we decided to head to Park City for a little shopping...
Here is what our drive was like:


Even though our PC adventure was rainy, it was probably more fun
than a sunny day would have been :)




We made it home with some treasures from the
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory...


We came home to have another relaxing evening just
hanging out and enjoying each other's company.
We had fun in some of the Inn's beautiful rooms:





The second night we switched room and stayed in the
Jane Austen room. It was also a very beautiful room, and had
great views of the mountains.



Our last evening we went on a walk on the golf course,
which was right next to the Inn.
After our walk we took some pics of the Inn at nighttime
because it was so beautiful:



We read some of Angles & Demons, our current read,
and borrowed two more movies to watch that night. It was a
very relaxing time.

In the morning, again, we were greeted by the day with an
unbelievable Sunday brunch.
It was a five course meal, which of course, was delicious.

First Course~ Pastries
Second Course~ Fruit & Melon Martini, in Sparkling Pear Juice (non-alcoholic, lol)
Third Course~ Crepe with Mountain Berry Jam
Fourth Course~ Jason: Steak, Eggs, Potatoes, Vegetables
Lizzy: Eggs Benedict, Potatoes, Asparagus
Fifth Course~ Lemon Scone with Berries and Whipped Cream

Yes, I know, it was quite the meal!
But better than that it was just fun to spend time alone with Jason
and have fun and relax.


We had such a good time together,
we can't wait for our next little vacation, just the two of us:)

I love you babe!
