Day Two at the Greenbrier
I woke up in that so comfy bed and just lay there enjoying the pleasure of just BEING and being at this place, as well. Finally I picked up my Kindle and read a chapter in "Best Self", a book I am currently reading. It's written by Mike Mayer, a life coach and I am finding it very informative and helpful. I am always trying to figure out who I am now. You do that when you become a widow, I think.
My tummy finally gets me out of bed. So, I headed out in search of the Main Dining Room. Well, I thought I ended up in the right place .. It certainly looked MAIN to me.
but the next morning, I did have my breakfast in the Main one. This one had a buffet set up... oh my gosh... everything your heart desires. My favorite thing was the mini pumpkin-walnut muffins. Wish I had that recipe.
There was a nice, warm fire going....

I guess you can figure out that I enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere!
I really wasn't hungry when lunchtime rolled around. So, what do I do?
I go back to Drapers to their adorable ice cream/soda shoppe
and I get a dish of lemon sorbet.
Sitting on that stool, just taking in the ambiance of the moment, the place, the independence.
It was great.
Just outside of Drapers there was a sitting area and to the side of that was a fenced in place maybe 9'x9' and enclosed was this mouth-watering display.
A close-up
And, be sure to read this sign which was placed next to the fence.
That's a ton of CHOCOLATE!!
(more on Day Two later)
Wow! What a beautiful (delicious) display! Gosh, that place is just gorgeous. Makes me wish I were there too. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing! I would never have guessed that they were all made of chocolate. I wonder what happens to it all after the holiday season has passed? That dining room and breakfast buffet look amazing as well. Can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful display! Love that nice fireplace and the muffins sound delicious. If you want a laugh, stop by my blog for some GREEN BEAN TEA!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
WOW, what a wonderful display! I can't believe it is ALL chocolate! JUST WOW! A beautiful place for sure! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day you had in that beautiful place. Every corner is decorated for the season. Have a great Saturday and will look forward to more pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou had to feel quite pampered. Now that is a bunch of chocolate. Maybe they donate it when the season is over.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! And that chocolate display is something else. I do wonder what they do with it after Christmas. Do you know? If it's 100% edible, then they should raffle pieces of it off, donate it, or let children loose on it!
ReplyDeleteWhat's NOT to like about a totally chocolate display...sounded and looked delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh friend, you are having fun.
ReplyDeleteAmazing chocolate display!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
