I would love to do this! And now I am hungry. Again.
Inn Good Taste?
I like the name of that one!
Now I’m daydreaming… these all sound wonderful.
Rabbit Hill Inn and Blair House are two of my absolute favorite inns. Great choices for cuisine, comfort and kindness. I think inn-based cooking schools are the way to go – learn from great chefs, enjoy fine cuisine, and roll at getaway into it too. How’s that for multi-task vacations?? Thanks for the great story.
These all sound like “just what the doctor ordered”, a weekend of amazing food and friendship.
I have dreamed of this….oh my. I’m so excited and I haven’t even seen the places yet..Just the thought…ahhh. Thanks for sharing this very vital info!
