A couple of years ago when giving notice that he’d be out of town for the weekend due to one of our getaways, Chad was advised by a church leader that we should be staging such getaways quarterly. We took that seriously and now try to get in an overnighter sans kids in January, March, June, and August each year.
This weekend we combined our getaway with a trip to the Boston temple, snagging a bed and breakfast in Stow, not far from the homes of Louisa May Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson. While we didn’t make the time to visit either of these on this trip, we’ll definitely be staying out that direction again. The hosts of the Amerscot House Inn were possibly the most thoughtful we have encountered in our 12 years of bed and breakfasting. The 1734 inn was amazingly preserved, breakfast was amazing, and every detail of our stay was well thought out and presented. The addition of a heavy 
blanket of snow (the first of the season for us) made the trip especially mystical.Many thanks to our friends who made the time fun and memorable for Gavin and Arwen too!

Eric has an uncle who lives there- it sounds amazing. And good to know that it's practically a commandment to get away once in a while- we are due!
Hope you can get something on the calendar soon - it's a real breath of fresh air, isn't it?
I'll have to get a list of your bed and breakfast places sometime. I've never stayed in a historic home before. 1734-That's a long time ago! Breakfast looks yummy! So glad that you got the time away, it's one of the best things you can do for your children and your marriage.
