After a wonderful night’s sleep, I was finally able to explore our room and the gorgeous inn! Breakfast was served from 8am-9am so I snagged a few moments before meeting my parents downstairs and captured our room’s adorable details on film. I love bed and breakfasts that understand the importance of details.

The bed was smaller than we are accustomed to but the feather bed was a treat!        The bathroom includes a double soaking bath and a stall shower. I love the double lamps in the bathroom. The lobby is warm and inviting with the fresh flowers and warm hardwood floor. Who is that dapper young man? 🙂 It’s amazing what a shower and good night’s rest can do for someone.

After my quick exploration it was time for a homemade breakfast in the sun lit breakfast nook. The area housed six tables included a four person round that suited our needs perfectly this morning.

The first course included fresh grapefruit broiled with brown sugar and Maine blueberries. I would love to recreate this at home as it gave the grapefruit a whole new flavor.

The second course was homemade blueberry waffles topped with toasted pecans and Maine maple syrup. I ate half of this one and half a piece of bacon before passing the rest to Bo and my dad.

After breakfast Bo and I decided that a quick run would be the perfect way to take in the landscape. It also allowed me to use my new Garmin which worked perfectly.

The run was filled with hills. We ran 3.1 miles in about 34 minutes which wasn’t bad considering it included hills. We ran without headphones and chatted instead. Similar to Dori, I am trying to run without music more often.

Next up on our agenda was an ATV tour of Maine’s back woods. Mom, Bo, and I thought we were on our way to a two or three hour excursion. Hence our smile below,

 

We’re about to leave for dinner so I can’t give a full recap but I’ll leave you with this picture which is worth 1,000 words.  Eight hours later our feet looked like this. Imagine what the rest of me looked like especially since my greatest fear happened and I was indeed thrown off of an ATV and then it proceeded to fall on me. 🙂
