The Wonderful Wayside Inn

Arnold & I celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary at the 'Gorgeous' Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, MD. The Wayside Inn is a Historic, Luxurious 18th Century Home and the first Bed & Breakfast we've ever experienced! Let me tell ya, we were NOT disappointed! We selected this Bed & Breakfast based on their website and the reviews of other guests. As you can see by the photo's the Inn is beautiful, warm, cozy & the accomodations were wonderful! We received superior customer service! These days as we all know...that is rarer than a bald eagle these days! We were spoiled by the Innkeeper, David from the moment we met him.

Next there was the breakfasts!!! If ANYONE raves about someones cooking, you got my attention! LOL! So that was a contributing factor in us selecting this Maryland Bed & Breakfast! I totally agree with the other people who said David was an EXCELLENT Chef and Susan was a marvelous hostess! David started us off with a "Sunshine Cocktail." Here are Arnold & I getting ready to dig into our "Sunrise Cocktail" which included yogurt, fresh strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapples & granola!

They even had a Flavia coffee & tea maker with its on-demand selection of many coffees and teas on the second floor for guests to use anytime. That was an unusual and welcome amenity!

Our next course, David served us Country sausage with French Toast marinated in Buttermilk(?)...MAN! Was it GOOD! It left me craving for more!!!!!!!!

Arnold and I later ventured into Historic Ellicott City to "walk-off" that Fabulous breakfast...lol...No, but to take in the sites and puruse some antique shops.

Sunday's breakfast was a tasteful Egg Souffle' with grilled ham and a warm croissant...Yum Yum!!! Here's my baby ready to eat it up! ;o)

Below are the Innkeeper/Owners Dave & Susan Balderson who have owned the Inn since 1998. All aspects of our stay was absolute perfection from beginning to end. (If you stay in the Terrace Room in the summer time be prepared to use the Fireplace as it gets a little chilly down there.) So if you wish to experience a wonderful stay that will SPOIL you with hospitality and delicious Food make a reservation for the Wayside Inn Soon!!!

Happy 50th Birthday Cousin Karen

Cousin Ricky & his crew threw Karen a surprise 50th Birthday Party at Hi-5 Sport Bar in Raleigh. The surprise was a success as she didn't know about it nor know her Mom and brother were coming all the way from Michigan. Here is Karen's Mom, Daughters Kameela & Raushanah and the Golden Birthday girl herself.

Presenting The Peppers Family: Kameela, Golden Birthday Girl, Karen, Cousin Ricky, Li'l Rick & Raushanah. Me & the Golden Lady with the Golden Heart and voice to match...

While in Raleigh Auntie and I stayed with my wonderful friend and former Roommate Linda. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality Linda!

After attending church at Wake Chapel I was able to catch-up with my great friends "Angie" and "Laide" for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Thanks Ladies, it was FUN!

Boo-Boo Starts in "Soccer On The Hill" League

While Aunt Jakki and I were in Raleigh for Karen's 50th Birthday Party, Arnold took Nina-Skye to her very 1st soccer league practice. Aren't they the cutest li'l soccer players you have ever seen?

The following week she "sported" her team shirt & shin guards and her new soccer shorts...

Nina-Skye (looking like a little Pro above) said she enjoyed her first couple of weeks of soccer practice. Yay! Anytime she is active a getting valuable exercise is fine with me and her Daddy!
