Breakfast Tea.

One of the perks we received from

staying at the B & B was breakfast.

The menu of tea choices was amazing.

We chose a rose inspired flavor. Lovely!

The setting was so cozy. Lots of pictures to

show the incredible history of the mansion.

Linens and high ceilings and pretty

window coverings and wood furniture.

A small but bright enclosed porch for

extra seating and stained glass windows.

We put a few of these light plates in our new

house and I loved seeing them in the B & B.

Our view included glimpses of the

harbor and the windy and choppy sea.

Breakfast served like afternoon tea. It

included quiche, scones, turkey, salmon,

french toast, butter, maple syrup and a

bit of fruit. I already at that before the shot.

Pineapple with cream cheese and an

edible flower. So good to start our meal.

A picture at the end, when we were full but not

in any rush to leave our table and our view.

Loved our waiter Carlos, who has the

most incredible story of coming to

America from Italy. He even worked

on the Disney Cruise Line. Great man!

Victorian B & B.

 On the last weekend of our recent holiday,

we had the privilege of staying in this house.

It used to be a restaurant called "The

Captain's Palace" but now it's a B & B.

Nothing has changed ~ the fixtures and

decor are all original and so beautiful.

The hallway outside our door even had

an amazing and very large chandelier.

These paintings were originals and so neat

to look at each time we went to our room.

Our door to our room. Very regal and

elegant, matching the house and the time.

Little sitting area to relax and watch tv

or read. We used this when we skypped.

Mini bar. The real reason for this shot was to

show the old but comfortable claw foot tub.

The bookcase full of old books. We had

fun looking through these and even read one.

Windows that overlooked the very lush, 

green and blooming Spring garden.

Cozy bed. Not too big but comfortable

welcoming after our little walking tour.

The veranda, looking in on the breakfast

porch. A sunny spot to eat and relax.

We loved staying here and despite missing

the restaurant, it was a brilliant plan to turn

it in to a B & B. We plan to come back when

we venture out again to our little island.
