Sweet Gum Bottom Bed & Breakfast
Mr. B & I were able to stay Saturday night at Sweet Gum Bottom Bed & Breakfast in Andalusia, AL.This was our first Bed & Breakfast experience and we really enjoyed it! Mr. B's parents were here for the weekend so they were gracious enough to keep the kids for us.
The Bed & Breakfast was so neat. It has a great story to go with it. It was bought it Evergreen, AL and then cut into 3 sections and moved to Andalusia and restored. It has 4 rooms and we stayed in the Bethany Dawn room, and we were even lucky enough to the have the place to ourselves that weekend! The breakfast was divine! Scrumptious pecan/maple french toast with eggs and bacon as well as fresh fruit and juice. The grounds were well kept and provided a peaceful escape from the hassles of the 'real world.' We ate dinner at a local Mom & Pop Italian restaurant. It was delicious and quiet. I know I should've taken the camera with me...shame on me ;)

Mr. B trying out the hammock...it was quite the learning experience for him to get situated, LOL!
I managed to join him without tipping us both over, our view from the hammock
We got out the tripod and decided to take some pictures
Here you can see that my shoe flew off as I jumped up after running and pressing the button on the timer
These were done for Mr. B, LOL!

Our walk led us to the 2 donkeys on the property
Mr. B going in to get some corn for them, they were very interested in that!

Front of Bed & Breakfast, I swear it looks way smaller in the pictures (all that we seen as well) than it really is! It's quite huge!

My surprise anniversary gift! Yes, our anniversary was last month...this get away was supposed to be our 'gift' but Mr. B doesn't always listen well ;p I've been wanting a butterfly necklace for quite awhile (since after the Captivating Bible study) yet I'd never told him that. He not only got me a butterfly necklace but one with my birthstones, I was so excited! I LOVE it!
For those who know my butterfly stories know that is a great reminder for me of His promises
Great weekend spent with great company, my amazing husband! It was great to get away for a bit and recharge. If your ever in Andalusia and looking for a Bed & Breakfast I highly recommend this one!!
