Weekend Away

A week ago, Jeremy and I went on our first overnight trip without Mady.  We were trying to decide where to go to celebrate our anniversary.  Jeremy wanted me to go to a Bed and Breakfast (because I have never been to one) and this momma didn't want to go very far from her little girl.  So we decided on the Henderson House B&B way out in the middle of nowhere in the small town of Stafford, Kansas.  To make a long story short, the reason we knew about this place is that our realtor who helped us buy our house owns the B&B out there.  
Here are a few pictures of our time together. 

This is the house we stayed at. 

This is the house across the street.  It's gorgeous!

The Old Church in Stafford.  It was really cool inside!  It kind of reminded me of the old church at Tabor.

We went here on Saturday. 

Here is Jeremy bird watching.  I guess Quivira is a known bird watcher's paradise.  We aren't much into looking at birds so we only stayed for a few minutes.

Kansas is DRY!  It was so sad to see fish dead and the swamp area in the preserve completely dried up.

The sign says that it was on a moderate fire danger.  Jeremy and I thought it should be extreme considering how dry it has been!  Jeremy tried to change the sign but it's bolted down...

This is the old train depot in stafford.  We had a great time exploring this and looking in the windows.  I love old buildings like this!

Another picture of the wildlife preserve.  Can you believe there are places like this in Kansas?

We had a great time on our trip!  The best memory that I have and of course didn't take pictures of, is that Jeremy and I drove to Ellinwood.  We took a tunnel tour of the tunnels that run underneath the town.  A wealthy store owner back in the early 1900's preserved part of the tunnels that use to run underneath the town.  We got to see the tunnels exactly as how they were found.  
I'm so glad we took our trip together.  It was nothing fancy but we had a great time together seeing Kansas in ways we ordinarily wouldn't.
