We drove into Maryland this morning and ambled towards Boonsboro. I took us down a scenic route that followed the National Road, but we found it difficult to enjoy the scenery through the timber (forest). Still, I was thrilled to travel along the National Road!
We arrived in Boonsboro early afternoon, and easily located the Inn Boonsboro! Absolutely lovely!
The entire staff is charming and friendly, working diligently to make our stay a special, memory-making visit. We ate lunch at Vesta's then visited the Turn the Page Bookstore! Spent an hour in the bookstore.
After check-in, we relaxed in the Wesley and Buttercup (Princess Bride) Suite, and then prepared for the evening activities. Wine and visiting in the Lounge was first.
Later we enjoyed a wonderful meal at Dan's Tap Room across the street. We returned to the Inn for a relaxing evening of visiting and planning tomorrow's trip to Antietam. Praying for no rain!
