Dining Review of the Old Lyme Inn in Old Lyme CT. – Near The Florence Griswold Museum

On the way to the recent Greenwich Wine and Food Festival we stopped in Lyme, CT to grab some dinner. A perusal of available choices and their menus led us to try the Old Lyme Inn. We had actually been inside this building years before, stopping to check it out on our way back from

Lunch at the Morgan House Inn in Lee, MA

In an old inn sitting right on the main street through Lee, Massachusetts is the tavern at Morgan House Inn. It’s small, with four or so tables in the front enclosed porch, as well as a few in the bar area. The bar only seats 8-10. There is a much larger area that they open

Two Grand Hotels on the Italian Lakes, and Something Else

Our recent trip to the northern Italian lakes was an anniversary celebration, so we splurged a bit and stayed in the nicest hotels we could find. Both were spectacular in their luxury, attention to detail, incredible locations and superb service. We’ll cover both of them here, as they really are cut from the same mold.

Dinner in The Dining Room at the Inn on Biltmore Estate

On our night at the Biltmore Estate Cheri and I decided to have dinner in the Dining Room, the restaurant on the lower level of the inn. It looked very nice, and the menu was pretty attractive as well. They suggest gentlemen wear jackets to dinner, so we expected a more formal approach to the

Visit to the Biltmore Estate, a Destination in Itself

We were recently heading back to the Winston-Salem area to visit our daughter and son in law, and this time we tacked on a couple of extra days to make the drive to Asheville and visit the Biltmore House. This has been something on our list of things to do for quite a while,

Wedding Trip to Jackson, New Hampshire

Our daughter was married this month and we took a small group up to the White Mountains to celebrate the event. A great time was had by all, and they actually got married so it was a total success. We spent parts of six days in the Jackson/North Conway area, so there are some wines

Weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine Nov 9-12, 2012

We headed up as planned to Kennebunkport, Maine, this past weekend for an anniversary getaway. It’s been a good 10 years or so since we were there, and that was during a record cold spell on New Years day which meant we really didn’t see much. This was a chance to meander a bit around
