Saturday my mom and sister took me out on an 'All Inclusive Birthday Surprise Date'. We started the day with whipping Spin-outs in the winery parking lot. (I love doing that!) Then we went in for for wine tasting and picked up a few for the way. Along the way we also ate junk food and stopped at a fantastic antique shop! At one point I pulled the car over, was blind folded with a diaper and was escorted down the road. They took me to the Old Jail House B&B in Taylor's Falls. Wow - the things my mother & Kate think of:)
This is one of the oldest Jail's in MN. It was renovated to be a B&B. The thing we soon realized (after reading the guest book) is that this Jail is haunted (or so they say.) So we called my dad who started doing some searching. It didn't take him very long to pull up some stories. Apparently this is one on MN's top "Haunted" places. Hmmm....
We went out to a great restaurant in town. It was delicious and to top it off - Chocolate Almond Bacon Ice-cream was on the desert list! Done & Done! I had to try it. Bacon is my favorite food:) It did not disappoint.
We made our way back to the Jail, played some games and drank more wine:) Kate and I made our way to a bar that was a block away during my mom's power nap. We met some fun people & played some pool. Mom soon joined us. We love these small townie bars! It was so friendly - they let Kate go behind the bar & make drinks, great Juke Box dancing, a little dancing on the bars, some free drinks and to top it all of Kate & I were still in our PJ's! Oh yes - many of the locals told us Ghost stories about the jail, their homes, and other places around town...freaky...
Near bar close we made our wait back to Jail again. Just in case, I had asked the spirits not to bother us while we were sleeping. They listened:)
In the morning we were served breakfast. We were also given the opportunity to talk to the staff about some of the occurrences and take a tour of the rest of the place. With everything that was said - they still have not made a believer out of my mother:) She thinks they are all in Cahoots. I...am ...not ...so... sure...BOOOOO!
Thanks Kate & Mom for a wonderful trip! You are the best!

Hey Donella, I hope you caught that we were NOT planning on going to the bar. We were in the gas station, and decided what the heck. Plus the cashier assured us that it didn't matter what we were wearing in this town. Oh, and Charlie (the local patron) told me I had real purty legs. HA HA, in that outfit!!!
I am sure you had a blast. Looks like fun! Happy Birthday!
