Date Night - Out of Town

Beaumont?  I know people are saying where is that?  Well,  it is in Kansas - off hwy 400 - East of Wichita. Game night has ended - guys won and we decided to go spend the night in Beaumont at the bed and breakfast hotel.  The hotel has been there for 100 years.  This is a little town with a lot of history.  The main thing it is known for - you can fly your plane, land on the small air strip, drive it into town and park across from the hotel.  People come in from all over to eat at the cafe and the hopes of a plane coming down the street.

The first thing I noticed when we arrived was how quiet it was - perfect after a long week at work and a noisy two year old.  I think one other couple spent the night besides us.  We had the place to ourselves.  If we wanted more ice - we had to go into the kitchen in the cafe to get it.  We joked about frying up some hamburgers later that night if we got hungry.  The cafe (50's style) closed at 9:00 and then it was just us.  They have a sun room that we spent most of the evening in.

We sat outside waiting for our friends to arrive

Russ tried to get a picture of everyone in the dinning room during dinner

We had so much food - it was very good - stuffed I couldn't eat dessert, but Dea sure did

Pan Fried Catfish was the special

Don't ask what these two were doing - I don't even know

After dinner we took a walk outside - Dea wanted to explore the inside of this building.  She found out that it was for sale - I think they were asking $30,000 or so for it.  It was 4,000 sq feet.  Perfect for a business and then you could have your living quarters in the back.

Can see why I need to work out!

Dea and I thought it would be funny to look we were tied to the railroad tracks

Dorks - I know

Some how we got to talking about crossing your eyes

Russ always thinks he is doing it (but he can't)

Sooo to prove to him and Adam that they weren't doing

I took a picture

Our breakfast the next morning - it is included - you can order anything off the menu

While we eating breakfast this little plane flew in.   Earlier in the morning there had been three others.

It was a great time getting away from the responsibilities of home

Thanks - Amy & Frank; Adam & Dea for going

It was a great time!

We decided that we will have to make it a yearly trip.
