Babymoon

The day after we got back from California, Bobbins wanted her own trip with me, so I took her out to Globe for a one-night romantic getaway at a bed & breakfast.  When you're pregnant, they call this a babymoon, which is more or less something women have cooked up to get their husbands to spend on them.  I had read about the Noftsger Hill Inn way back in 2008 and thought it'd be a fun place to take my wife.  Boy was I right.  We loved it!  Being an old schoolhouse was quite cool, and the proprietors are a lovely couple who know how to cook.  Each room is a former classroom, and they're huge, still with the original chalkboards.  The bathroom has a clawfoot tub we took good advantage of.

 After checking in, we drove down the hill to town and to Holy Angels Catholic Church, a beautiful little church right 'downtown.'  As luck would have it, they had Adoration for first Friday, and we stayed about a half hour with the Blessed Sacrament.

 

 

From there, we had a nice Italian dinner at Demarco's restaurant nearby (which advertised in the bulletin).  Lo and behold, the pastor of Holy Angels, the priest from Miami, and a retired priest sat down for dinner next to us.  We talked to them a bit and the retired guy blessed the baby.  It was quite special.

We slept in, enjoyed our delicious home-made breakfast, then went antiquing for a bit before returning to Phoenix.  It was a very relaxing and romantic get-away.
