| Don, Linda their grandchild and 2 older dogs |
Our first night was heaven. With a flawless flight we picked up our Subaru outback and marked out GPS to our first B&B. We arrived one hour too early and decided to find a grocery store to pick up cheese a cracker and a nice bottle of wine. Upon our proper time of arrival we were greeted with Linda who showed us their lovely English Tudor home and guided us through their house rules--No shoes, slippers and footies provided. Tea at 8pm. Coffee is served in the morning ( with lovely linens and silver); brought to the room at 7am and breakfast at 7:30am. The entire house was rebuilt and redesigned to English Tudor. Furniture and paint were carefully chosen to period. The dining room was stenciled in 4 colors and 2 base colors, the second base color with a leather roller and 2 dimensional shades of color on color for the Fleur-de lis shape--enormous amount of time and love as this was an overall wallpaper design. Most of the house was common area except for the kitchen. We were the only guests until our departure day, Friday-(which we almost did NOT observe if we had not checked the itinerary). As Jim put it "we needed a leaving date and a KICK-OUT date"...

That evening we took a long walk down the cove to the estuary before the tide had not come in yet. It is still light by 9pm. During the summer months it stays light until 10pm.The beach was covered with driftwood, empty thick oyster shells covered in barnacles...The walk back was steep, as it was easier going down than coming up...(truly, depends on who you ask). The Inn sits on a bluff with many of Linda's herbs of peppermints and spearmint and tyme carefully planted in assorted pots organized and grouped on the back patio for easy reach. Linda used these and last years marion blackberries she froze to use this year's guests to compliment our wonderful breakfast as garnishment.
