Barnstorms

December 19th, 2005

Jen and I just passed five years of marriage together. To celebrate, we got away to a bed and breakfast in Mendocino, CA called Mendocino Farmhouse. It was a delightful place tucked away in the trees a couple miles outside of the town. Our room occupied half of what used to be the barn, and despite what you’d think, the accomodations were quite plesant. In fact I dare say of all the B&B’s we’ve stayed at in four states and two countries, Mendocino Farmhouse was one of the best yet.

The weather was nice up until the day we left, when thunderstorms showed up. The accomodations were cozy, well kept and new looking. The breakfast was hearty, the highlight being the orange whole wheat pancakes. And the location was quiet and quite restful. If you’re ever in Mendocino, seemingly the B&B captial of Northern California, we would highly recommend checking into the Mendocino Farmhouse.

Saint George’s Seven Wives

July 16th, 2005

Jen and I are on the way to Fort Collins, CO for our bi-annual CCC conference. Last night we stopped in St. George, UT for a restbit on the journey. On recommendation from some friends, we checked into Seven Wives Inn. This B&B was so named for the polygamists it once housed. In fact each room is named for a different wife. Ours was Eliza’s room. We especially enjoyed its quiet neighborhood location in old town St. George, and swimming in the pool after the sunset and the desert began to cool off. I’d highly recommend Seven Wives if you’re ever going through St. George.
