Biscuits and Gravy

Friday night we did something we have been wanting to do for a long time. Victoria asked me (as she does almost daily) "Are we doing anything fun or exciting today?" I said yes but it was going to be a surprise. All morning and right after school I was constantly questioned. Here are a few hints I gave them.....
We are going to camp out.
It is something we have never done before.
It is about 20-40 minutes away
It is a very expensive place. Ooooh! (They liked that idea!)
No, there is no TV, pool or hot tub.
We are not taking anyone else with us.
There are no beds.
We wont be taking a tent.
It is not a cabin.

Did you guess?

We finally decided to go out and spend a night at the Spec house. It was freezing when we got there because the gas company had replaced the gas meter and had put a lock on it. Why the lock? I have no idea, but luckily Gentry's life of crime came through for us and he broke the lock. It warmed up pretty quickly with the gas fireplaces, and the heat on.

Conclusions from our big night out: Beautiful home, with lots of natural light. I loved the kitchen; biscuits and gravy taste great and cooked faster on the high BTU burners, and convection microwave and both were easy to clean and operate. The dishwasher even washed my ugly old stainless steel pan with gravy paste. :)

Gentry liked the heated tile floors best. It is true, they are so great!

Victoria enjoyed the deep tubs and the music in every room. No need to haul her CD player into the bathroom.

Grant loved the basement spiders....no....guess not, but he did like the theatre chairs and all the room to run around.

Finally, it was a lot of work for one night, but glad we did it.

What fun! That's quite the bed and breakfast place. No wonder we weren't invited for biscuits and gravy. *grin
