I'm such a sucker for tree-lined roads, but especially ones like this that feel like tree tunnels. Just around the corner, we arrived at our home-base for the weekend: The Whimsical Pig Bed and Breakfast, aka the sweetest, most awesome lodging ever. At least for yours truly, that is.
Inside the house were even more surprises, beautifully restored with glistening wood floors and full of vintage details and decor. I'm pretty sure I did a double take, and definitely wondered what the odds were of finding such a place in the area we were visiting-- not to mention later finding out that this had been a last minute selection on the part of my SIL's family, who had no concept of the affinity for history that my family and I have! It felt like such a wink from God, and indeed it was. I was so busy taking everything in that I didn't take pictures of everything that I wish I had, but here are some glimpses. Not to mention, the spectacular breakfasts: the oatmeal cremebrule and baked honey grapefruit were my favorites!
One thing I so wish I'd gotten a picture of more than anything else is the awesome couple who own The Whimsical Pig! Sue and Ron were the most welcoming and genuine hosts who not only made our stay wonderful with their attention to detail, but were such a blessing to talk with and get to know.
I may be back at the Whimsical Pig before too long. :)
Oh what a wonderful place. Tree lined roads are incredibly special to me... My part of Kansas doesnt really have any. But i enjoyed looking at all the pretty things. Id love to go there sometime.

Wow, it looks beautiful! I love places like this. We have a couple of Victorian bed and breakfasts in our town that I am longing to try out. I love your yellow dress too! The collar detail is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI must say too, that gray kitty looks exactly like my kitty. Same face he always makes too-hehe. So cute!
