Horn's Ferry Hideaway

I was working in Dallas all last week. I got in Friday night and Josh came and picked me up from the airport. I had planned a little getaway for the two of us and didn't tell Josh what we were doing. I booked a little cabin off of Red Rock Lake near Pella. Its called Horn's Ferry Hideaway. Such a cute little place! It is built by the old Horn's Ferry route and bridge. The bridge collapsed in the late 80s but it is still there for pedestrians to walk across. I am sure it is awesome in the non winter months. There is a bald eagle reserve nearby, lots of hiking and bike trails, and the lake is just a few feet from the cabin. It was so nice and cozy with a fireplace that kept the cabin nice and toasty. There was a double jetted tub, small kitchen and it was all brand new. We didn't use the screened in porch or BBQ, but maybe next time ;)

That night we drove into pella and had a great meal at a Greek restaurant, and drove back there for breakfast and ate at the windmill cafe. On Saturday we drove to Jordan Creek and did some shopping and saw Safe House, pretty good movie.

Was GREAT to get away for even just a little while. We sat at breakfast and watched a family eating. They had three kids about the same age as ours. We were laughing as they kept making them sit down, correcting bad behaviors, telling them to eat...we just sat there and enjoyed our breakfast...it was surreal!

It was just one big room and a bathroom, cozy little fireplace

Obviously a picture from the summer, not one I took, but you get the idea

Kaldera restaurant in Pella - great food and atmosphere and wine!

Little dive we found for breakfast right off the square

We are so lucky that Em watched Kenna and that Gona and Baca helped last week while I was gone AND watched the boys this weekend. So nice to get away and do nothing together...we never get to do that. Happy early Valentine's Day babe :)
