“So it begins”…“Here’s the first pitch/tip-off/kick-off/etc”…”They’re off!”…however you want to say it, we’re underway. We peaced outta Grantham around 3:15pm today with a nice waving send-off from the Michael family. After an uneventful four-ish hour trip we made it to Chapel Valley Estate in Ellwood City, PA.
Sha-weeeeet!
That’s all I really need to say about this bed & breakfast. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the surroundings here are picturesque..there were some definite “ooh-aah” moments driving up the hill to get here.
As far as the establishment, if you check out the website I’ll tell you that yes, it’s as nice as it looks. I’m sharing “The Loft Room” with Bernardo and we’re both pretty impressed with it. I’m actually chillin’ in the loft section of the room as I write this, so again, if you look at the site and see the picture of the loft just picture me there and try not to be too jealous. 😉 That being said if you should ever happen to be in the area I’d encourage you to check it out.
After we got settled we went about a mile up the road and had dinner at a castle…
Yeah, that would be Shakespeare’s Restaurant & Pub, which was pretty expensive (well, for a dollar-menu junkie like myself anyway) but they definitely don’t skimp on the servings…I think everyone would agree that we all left completely satisfied!
So yeah, I’ma call it a day and try to get some sleep ’cause we got breakfast @ 5am tomorrow. Peace.
