December Plans

When Betsy and I were down in the 'burg (williamsburg) recently, the Riley's decided that it was time to plan the holiday get-together. I've always loved big family shindigs, so I was all for it. Of course I actually get two big family parties now, because Betsy's family loves the big gatherings, too.

Anyway, the weekend before Christmas was chosen. And all agreed that good times would certainly be had, and perhaps details would be ironed out, but that was for another time.

Once Betsy and I returned to dear old O-hi-o, we pondered the close proximity of the christmas gathering to our 2nd wedding anniversary. As we thought more about it, we decided that now would be an excellent time to do something we've talked about for a long time.

So for our second anniversary we will be spending two nights at The Cedars of Williamsburg Bed and Breakfast. There's just something about B&B's that says Romance (at least I hope so). We've always loved the look of this B&B, and I will admit that their stellar website also swayed me. I wasn't expecting to be able to see descriptions and pictures of all the rooms, and even be able to request a reservation online. I was very impressed. Oh, and they have an email newsletter, too. Nice work!

We are staying in the Peyton Randolph room, which has a fireplace in the bedroom. There's that romance I mentioned earlier. But we couldn't stop there, so we got the Anniversary package, which includes dinner at The Whitehall Restaurant. Betsy and I are very excited.

Then after our wonderful anniversary celebration, we can flow right into our wonderful family holiday celebration. Now that's a good plan.

Let's hope it works.
