A ROMANTIC GETAWAY AT A HISTORIC INN
These days romance has been redefined by commercialism and it
seems that the only way we can get romantic is by going to the
most glamorous hotels, eating at the finest restaurants,
pampering ourselves at the most stylish establishments and all
in all just spending big. But what ever happened to the simple
pleasures in life?
Next time you plan a romantic getaway pull out a map, a history
book and locate America's great historic destinations. Whatever
aspect of America's historic past that interests you, chances
are there's a quaint historic inn waiting to play host.
Staying at a historic inn offers you an opportunity to get more
personally acquainted with your destination. Of course, you can
include as much or as little history as you like. But the idea
of being transported to another time is itself romantic. You may
end up sleeping on a bed from last century and meet hosts whose
families have lived in the area for generations. Getting closer
to history makes you get closer to your own history. That's
romantic.
Historical inns may not have all the comforts of a modern hotel.
The wallpaper may be peeling and the toilet may be leaking, but
most travelers to these destinations don't seem to mind about
such details. Being surrounded by historic buildings, cozy
restaurants, and antique stores adds a touch of class that makes
up for the lack of five-star service.
Staying at a historic inn at some of America's unique historic
destinations is the perfect romantic getaway. History is about
our personal attachment to the world we live in. It touches the
heart in the same way that romance does.
