Our Getaway part 1

We have now found our new favorite getaway spot. This week we went to Cabin on the Hill right outside Carbondale. It's about a 3 1/2 to 4 hours from Wapella. James found it while surfing the net. He likes to look for places for little getaways. It is resonably priced, so we decided to use our christmas money and get away for a couple days. We left monday and just got home this afternoon. We pulled into this place and our jaws dropped. It really is on a hill. The owners live on the first hill at the entrance. They you go down hill, drive by the barn, and up the hill to the cabin. We weren't sure our little car would make it up that hill, but it did. :) It doesn't look like it in the pictures, but it's quite a hill, not very big, but steep. James loved the front porch and was a little sad he couldn't sit on it more. It was pretty cold and windy. We loved sitting inside by the fire. We took some books with us to keep us busy. We played Yatzee, read, and hung out in the hot tub. We now know why people love private hot tubs :). We also were able to get fresh farm eggs from the owners. I could tell there was a difference from walmart eggs, but not a big one. It was still fun to have fresh eggs. The looked cool. (for some reason i copied and pasted but it underlined everything and i can't fix it) Anyway. I'll post more pictures of the inside of the cabin in the next post. We stayed in mostly. We ventured out and stopped by one of the many vinyards on the wine trail and then went to dinner with Dave's parents on Tuesday. It's lots of fun. You should all go.
