We've received some great reviews from travelers taking advantage of Winter Wonderlands around the country. This guest enjoyed a "play day".
Snowed Inn and lov'inn it!
I (Shelley) am a frequent guest of Inn at the Park B&B in South Haven, MI as they offer a fantastic price for corporate stays for single travelers...not as in unmarried but as in traveling alone on business. Anyway, my midway point to home is South Haven and I decided to stay on the eve of the "Blizzard of 2011" just to be on the safe side. Not only was the media telling us not to travel, I was tired and needed to get off the road anyway. So, I called Carol Ann and she, of course, greeted me with a big smile and a big hug at the door and got me all settled inn. We chatted over a glass of wine in the Pub while also watching the developing story about the blizzard. During the night South Haven reached at least 14 inches of snow, most business, churches and City offices were closed, and we were being asked NOT to travel. What's a girl to do? I had my computer so I could work but it was like having a Play Day because of the storm. So guess what happened? Carol Ann said, "c'mon into the kitchen and work with me". She had to begin preparing for the upcoming Winter Festival weekend and that I should help her. I put on an apron and we made cookie dough for bedtime cookies, pie crusts for quiche breakfast and some spinach potatoes. What fun. I took the recipes home and have a hungry husband to try them on. What a memory of my time at the Inn at the Park, the storm, and the hospitality of South Haven, MI.
