Weekend Reads, No. 111

Happy Sunday! Today is such an unexpectedly fun day for Edwin and me! Tomorrow, we celebrate our two year wedding anniversary! We didn’t have any serious plans for it this year but my parents surprised us and gave us a little getaway to the Chesapeake. Thanks to their incredibly generous anniversary gift, we’re off to the Inn at Perry Cabin for two nights! We’ve had some unexpected twists and turns recently so I’m really grateful to be marking this occasion in such a special way and special place.

The Inn at Perry Cabin has been on my travel bucket list for a long time so I am thrilled to be experiencing it! I haven’t been to this part of the country in awhile either so it is a real treat. I have had something every single night the last two weeks so I can’t wait to just take it easy with Edwin for two days. So I hope everyone has a fantastic Sunday!
