Twilight was a clue when Ben was telling me where we were going. I didn't remember that the Prom scene had been filmed at this historic landmark. But I did a little research and I was so excited to be going to such a romantic setting for dinner. And then I did a little more research and discovered its haunted side and I was ecstatic...romantic and ghostly, YES!!!
View Point Inn is officially in Corbett, Oregon. It sits on a bluff overlooking the Gorge. It seems like if you look hard enough, you can see all the way to Portland! We started out exploring the grounds. This was a cool storefront that looked like it was right out of the wild, wild west. As I started to sit down on the bench, I heard noises and realized it was chicken coop! Someone spent a lot of time building this beautiful but functional home for chickens!
We had to have one kissing picture! It is our anniversary after all!
Around front, this is the sign we saw. I hold my breath looking for ...
OMG! There was one that said Edward Cullen & Bella Swan Forever, another said Emmett and Rosalie, there were 3 bricks with Laurent, Victoria, and James. (Not enough room for all of them!)
I can just see myself on a quiet afternoon, sitting on the lawn, enjoying the sun!
My handsome prince...
Isn't this a beautiful sight? And the Gorge is lovely too!
I could so get used to this! Time to start the meal. This is Amuse Bouche (Course #1) Chicken Pate on Petite Toast with whole grain Mustard.
I love you darling! {Note to self...keep smiling and don't think about what pate really is.}
Soup (Course #2) Carrot l'orange Soup. It was delicious! Ben laughed and said there was grass in his soup!
We had our moments of class! {BTW: we were very discreet taking pictures. There was no hint of "hillbilly" in our actions, lol!}
I didn't take a picture of the next course- the Lamb appetizer. I wiped the tears from my eyes and pushed my plate over for Ben to eat. I can't get past that cute little face, baaaaa! Course #4 a wonderful Mediterranean Nicoise salad topped with seared Ahi Tuna {don't think about any faces other than the one sitting across from you!} This course was so very yummy!
I almost forgot to take a picture of the Intermezzo- Meyer Lemon Sorbet with orange zest. This was the best lemon sorbet I have ever eaten!
For our entrees, I chose the delectable Sea Scallops in Blood Orange sauce...
and Ben chose a mouthwatering Filet Mignon over mushrooms & potatoes (I forgot the fancy name).
This was Ben's dessert, a Rouge Valley Bleu Cheese Cheesecake atop a Marionberry sauce. I have never tasted a more delicious, heavenly cheesecake. WOW! 
For dessert, I chose a Creme Brulee that was to die for! It was scrumptious! 
The sunset was a beautiful end to a most amazing day. When we got home, we opened a bottle of champagne that our friends Steve & Rebecca gave us for our wedding. It made for delicious toasts to end the night. Thanks friends!
My wonderful husband took the time to plan out every detail to make sure that our 1st Anniversary made memories minute after minute, hour after hour all day long. I am so very grateful for a wonderful time and a wonderful husband!
