BECOMING ROYALTY FOR $15
Submitted by: Bill

Ruth and I went to Washington, NC last week to check on a boat
motor and to New Bern and Beaufort the next day to investigate some marinas
and to inspect a boat for possible purchase.
This was not really a vacation but it was a pleasure trip for me because I
enjoy boating and because Ruth could join me. We had planned to stay a night in a motel but as we were driving around Washington we came across a
cozy looking Bed & Breakfast. We stopped and were given a tour by the
proprietress. We both fell in love with the Queen room. I suggested we
stay there because Ruth is my queen. And this room had a hot tub.
That evening we chatted with the owners for an hour or so and had beer and wine
and crackers. The next morning at the time of our choosing we also had the
best breakfast we have ever enjoyed.
Thus a trip for my favorite avocation turned into an event we both could
enjoy. The additional cost of the B&B was about $15 more than a motel but
well worth the extra expense for the new friends we met, the amenities, the
breakfast, and mostly for the pleasure we shared and the memory we will share for years.
