\nbed and breakfast<\/a>
\nin Gettysburg for
\nour last child-free getaway. A weekend in a wintery, sleepy town is just
\nthe kind of vacation we like. It’s really a chance to get away, quite literally.<\/p>\n
\nthree years ago and never completed. We also found our way to the
\ncyclorama, 360 degrees of fighting on a massive canvas. If only the real battle
\nhad been that calm. There’s something haunting about this place and something
\nso peaceful. So many died. The horror of those three days has not and never
\nwill be wiped clean from this small town. But you can sense
\nthat this was the beginning of the end because, well, it was.<\/p>\n
\nhistory indoors. The
\nlocal BnBs were offering a tour and we took it. A lot of the day was
\nspent traveling from one cozy BnB to the next, noting the differences
\nand sampling the homemade treats at each. Outside of our own
\nlittle BnB<\/a>, our two
\nfavorites were the
\nBattlefield BnB Inn<\/a> and the
\nHerr Tavern<\/a>.
\nBoth were great for their very own reasons.<\/p>\n
\nsomething else to the traveler. Hotels, in general just pale in comparison.
\nWhy, you say? I’m glad you asked:<\/p>\n
\nThere’s no front desk where a clerk can peer over the telephone at you
\nas if you are an interruption to his conversation. It’s not that at all. Instead, they are generally run and cared for by a married couple, a couple who
\nenjoyed or enjoy visiting BnBs themselves. They greet travelers and
\nwelcome them to their humble abode.<\/p>\n
\nPersonal touches and memoirs line the walls. Great care is taken to make
\neach room unique. Common areas hint at the hobbies of the owners.
\nWe’ll leave the light on for you, indeed.<\/p>\n
\nI love to sleep in. The sun is hardly an excuse to rise from the covers.
\nBut all this breaks down when we hit a BnB. Let’s get up babe. That smell
\nwafting up the stairs is for us. We wander down to the table, grab our coffee,
\nand make some smalltalk with a couple of strangers. The meals themselves
\nare often great to boot.
\nEgg sausage souffle, banana walnut waffles,
\nbaked apple pancakes with apple cinamin syrup – do I really need a better
\nreason to make it to the morning meal? Heck, we actually choose our
\nlatest destination because of the fact that they placed fresh
\nPennsylvania Dutch shoo fly pie on every breakfast table. Yum.<\/p>\n
\ncarolers, complete in their civil war costumes, to stop by and sing
\na couple of tunes. But we are glad they did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
