overnight.

I mentioned on Friday that we were going away this weekend, and now I am reporting back in! We actually just went away on Saturday night and came back Sunday afternoon, so it was a short getaway but we would definitely recommend it. We left the house at around 3 on Saturday to drive over the bay bridge into Maryland and on to Easton. It ended up only taking about an hour and fifteen minutes and we rolled into Easton by about 4:30 in the afternoon.

Our destintation was the Bartlett Pear Inn - a small b&b (just 7 rooms) and restaurant. The house was actually built in 1790 and it is a gorgeous brick house with two porches on the front.

We checked in, dropped our bags and went for a walk around town. Easton doesn't have a whole lot going on, so you are basically going there for the Inn, but it was quiet and peaceful. We came back to our room, changed our clothes and decided to go just up the road for a drink at The Tidewater Inn. We sat outside in the rocking chairs facing the street and drank cocktails. But the best part was that the Tidewater happens to partner with the town on Saturdays in the summer to host concerts in the street. It was amazing. There was this great live band playing all the oldies and classics everyone loves and the street filled up with people bringing their lawn chairs. The band rocked out, couples were dancing in the street, kids were running all over the place and it turned into this idyllic scene of a small town on Saturday night!

Unfortunately, we had to cut out early to head back to the Inn for dinner and dinner turned out to be phenomenal. We ended up sitting out on the screened porch where there were two tables and there was a great breeze...

The food was fantastic. No, but seriously, it was really really good. We had a truffle risotto that we would drive back for again and again and the scallops with chorizo and blue cheese were amazing. We ate a lot and then enjoyed the beauty of the whole b&b thing and just wandered upstairs to sleep....

We woke up on Sunday, went for a very quick run and then came back to breakfast...this eggs benedict would make my mom proud...

 We took our coffee upstairs to the porch and sat out looking over the street for a little bit...

And then we got our move on. I insisted on driving to St. Michaels since it was only fifteen minutes away and we walked around the Inn at Perry Cabin.

By 12:00, we were on the road back to DC and with a quick stop at an outlet ont he way, we were home by about 2:00. It was a very quick overnight but we would highly recommend it. Here would be our tips if you do end up going...

• Book far in advance. I booked this about a month and half ago and lucked out getting the last room in the Inn. But our room (Comice Pear Room) was super small and the other rooms looked much bigger and more comfortable. 

• When you make a dinner reservation, if you are sitting inside the dining room (especially if it is winter) ask for the two-top table in the alcove by the windows - it is the best table in the room. If it is spring or fall (or even summer) and the weather is going to be good) ask for one of the tables on the screened in porch. 

• You must order whatever truffle pasta dish they have on the menu!

• Don't miss breakfast!...and fyi - they only serve it until 9:30 am...
