Valentine's 09

Jon surprised me with a fabulous valentines day trip this year. The day started with beautiful flowers and breakfast at Southern Kitchen. From their, we headed up to Bainebridge Island where Jon had made reservations for us at Blodel Reserve, which is absolutely beautiful.
Here are some of the pictures we took while walking the grounds. It's about a 2 mile walk that includes several ponds and gardens.
The whole experience was really amazing but my personal favorite was the moss garden. Apparently it is is the larges of its kind in all of North America. It felt like an enchanted forest.
So, after our stroll around the grounds we went and had a picnic, complete with champagne, strawberries, chocolates, and cheeses. So all and all it was a fabulous day!
