It’s July.
It’s the five year anniversary of the month in which I started dating My Christopher.
It’s also our third anniversary month.
Though not quite the end of the month (the 29th is our actual anniversary, sort of) this week we had some time off together for a little getaway.
Originally I had planned on traveling to Portland, Oregon for a week of girl time with one of my besties.
Her son was signed up to attend a sports camp but after an injury that required surgery, camp was out of the question.
I’ve always wanted to stay in a Bed & Breakfast so I literally jumped on this opportunity to spend a few quiet days alone with my honey.
Now I have a new love:
The man who built this wonderful home also built another much like this in another part of this teeny tiny town. He also built two smaller homes that also included the horseshoe shaped window like the one you see here. The window was actually one in our room. I loved it.
The owner did a wonderful job restoring this place. It’s simply fabulous.
I would love to hire her groundskeeper and take him back home with me. He does a fantastic job keeping this place looking so pretty.
This tub took My Christopher by surprise. I don’t think he was sure what to do without a shower. Being a girly girl this was right up my alley.
Isn’t this a funny little commode?
The sink was so pretty I almost didn’t want to use it. My fear of all things smelly, dirty and germy kicked in though and that quickly flew out the window.
One of the dining tables. The blur of a person in the entryway was our innkeeper.
There were always drinks and snacks readily available.
If you’re a tea drinker or love chocolates this table is for you.
And for you cookie lovers.
Our first breakfast, which mind you comes in courses as if it were a fancy dinner.
The tile on this fireplace is still the original tile from when the home was built in the 1890’s.
The front entryway.
The staircase leading up to our room.
The parlor. There were books on the history of the area lying around for us to look at. I love reading those kinds of books.
She loves to cook and what a wonderful cook she was. This Italian omelette was YUMMY!
I love the antique furniture.
Of course I also LOVED all the photographs of the historical people from the area.
The kitchen has a tin roof which was common for the era.
I also managed a peek around the corner into the kitchen. I would so love a stove like that for my kitchen!
I can honestly say that I now prefer a Bed & Breakfast to a hotel for any trip I plan in the future.
If possible
