Bed, Breakfast, and Chocolate

Last Thursday I was surprised to find an evite from Joseph in my inbox. I was even more surprised at the title, "Bed, Breakfast, and Chocolate." The invitation was for a weekend stay at a Bed & Breakfast and a visit to Hershey, PA. I was floored....I'm a sucker for surprises, and Joseph, well, he's not such a sucker for them :) So the fact that he had gone and made all these arrangements (without me knowing) and then gone to the trouble to create his own evite...haha, I couldn't get the grin off my face for the entire afternoon. We left straight after work on Friday. The B&B was in this incredibly charming place, Skykesville, MD (not so charming name). We arrived on the hour to church bells ringing and had dinner at an old train depot turned restaurant. Then we settled in for a warm winter's nap in the adorable vintage style house. The rooms were named for the seasons and each had it's own vintage flair, we were in the winter room. One of the common room areas had old pinball and arcade games, pretty sweet. The breakfast was delightful, the sleep absolutely restful, and the large jacuzzi whirlpool bathtub a dream. I am definitely recommending to any of you east-coast blog readers, this is a place to put on your "to visit" list.
