I've spent weeks getting ready for the holidays, yet I'm still working to create that perfect setting. While I drink my coffee I dream now of going and staying at a historic hotel! I like the website www.historichotels.org (NOT .com), because they have some fun choices such as the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs (which I visited a few years ago) and the El Tovar at the Grand Canyon. It also lists the Queen Mary, where I've never stayed but have visited -- including for a friend's wedding reception. It was a gorgeous setting for a wedding!
I'm dreaming of sitting in front of a huge, stone, historic fireplace with a hot drink and a good book in my hand.
I grew up in the midwest so when I think of the holidays I can't help but want to see snow drifting outside the window. When I looked at the historic hotel website this morning I dreamed of staying at the Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri near Branson, Missouri. A few of the lodging choices there include a knotty pine cottage and a log cabin.
