The days get longer and warmer. You start to feel the need to be outside, remembering the feel of grass beneath bare feet as you ran, free as a bird. Memories surface – dashing out of the doors on the last day of school, sitting at the baseball game in the early summer twilight, the aroma of fried foods and the cacophony of the fairgrounds, the taste of a delicious, cool snow-cone. All of these wonderful recollections make you want to get out and enjoy the heady sights and sounds and smells of early summer. We’ve got a lineup of fun happenings all 90 minutes or less from the B&B. Take a nice road trip, enjoy the fun, then head back to the inn for a wonderful night’s sleep and delicious breakfast the next morning!
