Pace and I just had the best Monday and Tuesday ever! I have been "bugging" Pace for a long time about going to a bed and breakfast for a night together, just to get away from everyday life– for a price far lower than taking a regular vacation. Plus, our baby will likely be born right after Christmas, which is when our anniversary is, and then who knows when we will be able to get away….
So for our early anniversary present to ourselves, we escaped for a night to Johnson Mill in Midway (check out the website). Holy amazingness! Pace picked it out himself, and I was so impressed. Johnson Mill is so beautiful and picturesque, it completely exceeded any expectations I may have had about a bed and breakfast (and the price wasn’t bad, either)! We stayed in the Mt. Timpanogos Room, which was beautifully rustic. We cranked up the a/c so we could have a nice, cozy fire going all the time! Here are a few little snapshots of our room:
And the views from our balcony:
We went out to dinner at a little grill nearby, "hiked" around the property to see several small waterfalls and a fun swing they had, went on an evening paddleboat ride on the lake (complete with swans), and had some tasty hot chocolate and treats later in the evening.
Then we had a leisurely morning, including delicious biscuits and gravy for breakfast on the deck above the big waterfall. Thanks to Rachel for watching Chase for us while we were gone. I couldn’t believe how relaxing and picturesque the whole experience was! I highly recommend this place.
