Lake Geneva

Some relatives of Scott had their 50th Wedding Anniversary up in Lake Geneva last month so Scott and I went up the night before and stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. It was the perfect location...right on the lake and walking distance from downtown. The room was a bit comical though. I know B&Bs are supposed to be old and kind of "country-ish" in decor, but this place outdid itself! An older man ran the place and you could tell! The pillows were about 80 years old and the "Breakfast" aspect of the B&B was laughable. He served croissants (out of a can) with a piece of ham lunch meat rolled up in the middle of it and then warmed it up. It was gross. Even I could have made a better breakfast. Oh well....there could be worse things (like the bathroom in our room!

We walked along the path that goes all the way around the lake before we got settled into our room.



This is the most beautiful house on the lake. The woman who owns this is a single mom of 7 kids and used to wait tables to pay the rent. Then she somehow purchased a trucking company and is now a millionaire. She has a beautiful backyard with sayings on the railing.




The room kind of looked like a bottle of Pepto Bismol exploded everywhere.
The "Rose Room"
The bathroom sink was no bigger than an airline bathroom sink. This picture just doesn't do justice. You could barely fit one person in here and close the door.
Uhh, where's the counter?
I could hardly even wash my hands in the sink it was so small. Too funny!
All in all, it was a great trip. Lake Geneva will always hold a special place in our hearts since we got engaged there. We had beautiful weather and got to take a sunset boat tour of the lake for the anniversary party.
