A good friend will bail you out of jail....
A best friend will sit beside you and say, "Damn, that was fun."

Although no jail time was served, side splitting fun was certainly had on our second annual B~n~H couples weekend getaway.
This year's trip took us to Wine Country for tasting, swib, kayaking, haunted mansions, planking and lots of laughter.
Thankful for the time away { thanks mom and dad } and for amazing friends.
The following is a small glimpse into what thirty-somethings do when they get away from their kids for more than one night. Normal? I'm not quite sure. Us? Yes. Love us or leave us.
1. Starting our trip with an Oatmeal Stout at Mackinaw Brewing Company.
2. Trying to capture the rainbow after a day of raining.
3. Our first stop. Lesson Learned: Never trust a winery who has their bar on wheels.
4. Dinner stop #1, The Lumberjack in Honor, MI. According Yahoo, it is critically acclaimed receiving 5 out of 6 stars. Apparently, those ratings were from the locals.
5. Treasures from our favorite stop, 45 North.
6. Why wouldn't you use a wall mounted rhinoceros for a paper towel holder?
7. Ernie gearing up for our Platte River kayaking excursion.
8. That's why we didn't bring the kids, we wouldn't want to put them in such grave danger. Although, we did not see a bear or a cougar, we did see hundreds of fish!
9. Cross #26 off the list.
10. Steve and I got to see where the legendary ice cream is made, and the cows that made it. I have to say, they were the happiest looking cows I have ever seen...and I grew up in Coopersville.
11. Chad firing up for a big night in Traverse City.
12. We thirty somethings got crazy and tried our very first 5 hour energy drinks....the results? red cheeks and increased drowsiness...
13. Steve lurking in the haunted elevator of the Jolly Pumpkin, waiting to scare our friends.
14. Wondering what do do while in the haunted Genvieve's bedroom? Why, plank of course.
15. Wrapping up our weekend with a B~n~H huddle, "B~n~H, Wine Country!"
16. Finding one last treasure on the scenic route home....my first ever pastie.
I pick "love us!"
