Yellow Springs Part 1

This weekend Drew and I explored the town of Yellow Springs. We stayed at an adorable and historic Bed and Breakfast set off the main road, which had a very quaint and peaceful feel. This particular home once belonged to a federalist and had been restored and turned into a B&B.

 

The home had one of the few remaining original swinging doors, which were very popular in the 1800's so naturally we took a quick picture there. We showed up, got our own set of keys and the place was basically ours.

After exploring around our cute little B&B we headed to Clifton Gorge Nature Preserve, which is one of the main reasons we went to Yellow Springs. We chose a trail that wound along the river and said several times how much we felt like we were somewhere besides Ohio.

As we were hiking along Drew stops and says "I've seen this place somewhere before." Moments later he realizes it was a painting at the Art Museum. I of course looked at him and said "Um are you sure about that?" Sure enough when we got home and compared the pictures the painting in fact was taken at this exact spot in Yellow Springs!

One of Drew and I's favorite things to do together is hike. We worked together as camp counselors at a Nature preserve closer to home a few summers ago so it's obviously something we both enjoy. We had a perfect afternoon hiking along the trails. We even stopped on a cute little bridge to taste what is now our new favorite trail mix. From what I remember it is a mix of peanuts, white, dark and milk chocolate, almonds, cashews and walnuts. Yum!
