The White Barn Inn

We had such fun with my cousin Catherine and her husband Max this past weekend.  We toured them around in the rain and muck and tried to make New England shine.  We had a ball and enjoyed each other's company even in the rain!

One of the highlights of the weekend was a trip up to Kennebunkport, Maine.  We have been talking to them about this area forever and thought we should show them where we were going to grow old. In hopes that they like it and will continue to visit!

Don and I have been wanting to visit The White Barn Inn.  We have heard wonderful things about this beautiful little Inn and the fact that the gourmet restaurant boasts a AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star Dining Experience ... we thought this to be the perfect time to give it a whirl.

We arrived late afternoon ... and after driving through rain ... we found beautiful snow.  This was a treat ... doesn't the background remind you of "White Christmas?" ... I know it is March.  It is what we do here!

Because Don's love of wine, we were treated to a fun back room tour of the Wine Cellar!

A peek into the Bar and Restaurant ... the lights were magical.

 This was before dinner ... I snapped all the photos so we could actually relax and enjoy!

Dinner was delicious and the service impeccable ... but the company was the AAA experience for us!

Enjoy your weekend!  Erin is coming home for her Spring Break ... can't wait to wrap my arms around her!

White Christmas - Family Traditions!

This is it ... the countdown is on ... I got a running start this weekend and things seem to be going rather smoothly.  We kicked off the week of festivity and excitement with a family tradition ... we all gather to watch "White Christmas".  It is the one time of the year that the kids don't mind "family movie night!"  Or "forced family fun" as they have termed certain events that I make them do.

When it comes to White Christmas, none of them complain!  We all love the story, the singing (who doesn't love to listen to Bing sing!) and the dancing.  We marvel at the size of Vera-Ellen's waist!

Today starts the countdown!  Here's the week's schedule:

Today - Biscotti Making for teachers and friends (recipe tomorrow!)

Tuesday - Finish shopping and Wrapping Presents 

Wednesday - need to find a good buy on some linen for a client! 

Thursday - Grocery shopping for Christmas Eve!

Friday - all that didn't get done on MTWTh!!

I hope you all enjoy your week ... soak in the goodness of the season, it will be over before we blink!
