One of the many things my husband and i love to do is travel. Even though the two of us mainly travel within the continental US, we have had many memorable trips for the past eight years. When we got married, we made a promise that we will make it our priority to go places as often as we could.
Then came the news that we were going to have a baby, and things slowed down a bit for us. I was in bed for the first four months of my pregnancy due to severe nausea and vomiting. Once i was able to get out of the house, we managed to go places. I was six months pregnant when we celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary. We chose to go somewhere close to our house. To our surprise, we found this little gem of a resort 30 minutes from where we live.
The place is called Highland Springs Resort and it's truly a lovely place to go visit, or even spend the night in one of their modern vintage cabins. This place was built in 1853 and was a favorite spot of relaxation for Albert Einstein and Ernest Hemingway. They also have an impressive 1100 years old oak tree on their property. Oh, how i wish we knew about this place when we got married! Maybe this will be the place for our vows renewal.
The resort holds the annual Lavender Festival every June and it's a delight to be there. If you are ever in the vicinity of Cherry Valley/Palm Springs, please go there. They also have a great restaurant on their premises called The Grand Old Steakhouse & Bar where they serve delicious organic food. Here are a few photos of our time there this past month.
