Our winter getaway, part 1

 

Today I'm going to put up just a few photos from our recent winter getaway.  Yes, last Monday and Tuesday we took an overnight trip to the Maine coast.

This is the first time we have ever gone on a getaway this close to Christmas.  But I dare say that, Lord willing,  it will not be the last.  I think we were both quite surprised at how relaxed it felt.  I brought along some crocheting to work on a small gift, and some Christmas cards to write, but there was no pressure and we just simply enjoyed the time.  All of the Christmas decorating both inside and out was simply enjoyable!

 This was the front door of the York Harbor Inn where we stayed.  We were taking advantage of one of their specials, the Winter Wonderland package. We've stayed here a number of times before, always availing ourselves of special deals.  But we loved seeing it decorated for Christmas and I may show more of that tomorrow.  Isn't the front door decorated so beautifully?  

 

The window boxes were the same and simply lovely.

This was our room.  It had a working fireplace and we so enjoyed using that in the evening and early morning.

 

The special includes a $50 meal voucher for one of their restaurants.  We chose the Ship's Cellar Pub, which we'd visited before and knew to be just beautiful, with lots of brass and shining wood.  It too was decorated for Christmas.  

 

We were shown to a table by a fireplace (there are two in this restaurant, I believe) and that was such a treat.  

 

Here are the sandwiches we ordered.

 

We had such a relaxing evening!

The next morning when Mr. T went to the front desk for another fireplace log, we noticed a beautiful sunrise was beginning!

Hope you have enjoyed this brief look at part of our Christmastime getaway!  I will plan to share more photos tomorrow.
