B&B: Part II

We're home.
After a delicious 3 day weekend we have finally returned to our humble abode.
I can not express in words how awesome this last weekend was, nor can I express how a 3 day weekend left me feeling like I had just taken an entire week off from the world.
This morning for breakfast they brought us:
Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, & French Toast Sticks w/ Pecans
We checked out a little early and putzed around town for a bit trying to find a few items so we could go do a rubbing of Herman's gravestone.
Der Stadt Friedhof is the cemetery where Herman & Elizabeth are buried
1/2 way through our grave rubbing it's started to sprinkle and then as we finished it started to pour.  WE GOT IT THOUGH!  Unfortunately, we weren't able to get Elizabeth's gravestone.  We found out today that Herman was probably married 3 times.  Elizabeth was his first wife and it's believed she passed away a few years after they married (how sad).  The worst part is that on the gravestone it doesn't even have her name.  It just says Frau Herman Hitzfeld and her dates.  Frau in German is similar to Mrs. in English.
Before hitting the road we decided to stop by a recommended restaurant at The Hanger Hotel called the Airport Diner.
I LOVE how this picture turned out.  It looks like a cartoon drawing!  I didn't edit it at all.  I simple used a different setting on my camera.
This was taken on my 55mm w/ Tv setting shutter speed 1/25 ISO 1600.  No flash.

On our way out of town we decided to stop by Bud's Great-great-great grandparents tomb William & Emelie.  We found the cemetery and the gravesite.  The neat part was that their pictures were on the gravestone!  Of course while we were there it went from drizzle to pouring again, but we used Bud's shirt to cover the camera while we took a few snapshots:

The rain continued to come and go during our 1.5 hour drive home.  Again I can't express how awesome our weekend was.
Upon returning home it was back to business as usual.  I unpacked in about 10 minutes and while Bud watched the Texans vs. Redskins I napped.  I woke up just in time to watch the last few minutes of the game and watch it go into overtime.  It was an intense game!
Bud headed out to squeeze in a little homework he had neglected over our weekend and I started a load of laundry.  It's time to get ready for the week and all I can say is that I have the BEST husband in the world.  He spoils me and loves me and as we get closer to his graduation/commissioning/first duty station I literally feel us pulling together more and I feel my heart swelling with joy every time I look at him.  He makes me so proud!
Originally, I wasn't going to blog while we were at the B&B, but on our way out the door Bud decided to bring his laptop.  One of his reasons was that he knew I could use it to update my blog, he said he knew I liked doing it and thus he liked that I liked it.  I love that man!
I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday night.
