Happy and not so Happy Valentine's Day....

Saturday afternoon Josh and I headed to Apalachicola to the Coombs Inn Bed & Breakfast. The drive was beautiful and it took us less than two hours to get there. The room we got, The Hemingway, was amazing and included a 2 person jacuzzi tub and a separate sitting room.


We explored the town for a while and looked around at all the unique shops. We had a snack at That Place Off 98 that included shrimp cocktail and soup...yes I know weird combo, but it was delicious! We had dinner at another restaurant, can't think of the name. I had Ahi Tuna and Josh had some yummy shrimp! We also enjoyed a wine tasting at the Bed & Breakfast!
Apparently we didn't get the memo that you aren't supposed to put bubbles in a jacuzzi tub and ended up having more bubbles than water in the tub. Needless to say that makes your bath time less than enjoyable!! lol


Sunday morning we had a great breakfast at the B & B that included a bacon and spinach quiche and some fruit. They also had bagels, muffins, cereal and many other things to choose from. After breakfast we went on a bike ride. It was pretty nice except Josh could not seem to connect with his bikes because both of them broke!! Haha!! It was pretty fun and we had some really great laughs. We did a little more exploring and then picked up our picnic basket and headed to the beach! St. George Island was only about 15 minutes away. We drove to the state park and found a private spot on the beach. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed sandwiches, chips, fruit etc.


We had a crazy seagull not too far from us that would "yell" at every bird that came near it. It was like our own little body guard! We also saw some dolphins. There were about 7 or 8 that we spotted. After we finished at the beach we parked the car back at the room and went for some homemade gelato. It was excellent, I got mint chocolate chip and Josh got coffee!


After relaxing in the room for a while it was time to get ready for a nice dinner. We had dinner at The Verandas. It was amazing!! We had Lobster and Crab Bisque Soup, Salad and a yummy bottle of Riesling. Josh ordered out side of the box and ordered Duck! It was soooo good!! I ordered a Filet Mignon with mushrooms and some roasted red potatoes and vegetables. It was definitely one of the best meals I've ever had! After dinner we relaxed in the jacuzzi tub, minus the bubbles, and watched the Grammys and talked and such ;)

It was a really amazing weekend to just be together alone and talk and spend some really great time together!!


This morning we had another yummy breakfast at the B & B and packed our things to head out. The drive home was going really well and we were to get home around 11:30. We noticed though that every time we were completely stopped the car would start shaking. When we would go, we would hear a big water swooshing noise. So Josh took the car to Joel to look at. He told him that he thinks it's the radiator and that a gasket blew. This really stinks because as some of you know, about this same time last year our engine blew up. This vehicle has been causing us nothing but problems so I may be looking for a way to get rid of it. Only problem is that I'm not really into the whole using 1 car thing.


I'm trying to stay positive and just think about my next doc appointment on Wednesday. I really hope that my body will have made some progress! I have been taking my pills two a night for a couple nights now and I am hoping it works! If all goes well I will be getting my HCG trigger shot this time next week!!
