top ten tuesdays - staycation.

it's tuesday. and here in vermont, we are feeling a bit under the weather. the sun was shining today, but the nights are still chilly and perfect for cozying up with some hot tea (no wine, we're sick) and dreaming about a little local spring, er, mudseason getaway. a romantic staycation to celebrate the fact that we made it though the long winter and the brief lull before the summer kicks into full gear.

i think i will be selecting one of these from the top 10 romantic getaways for our little imaginary getaway. all include several key ingredients - porches with rocking chairs, homemade jam for breakfast, innkeepers with wonderfully classic names, fireplaces, wine cellars and beds that make you want to sleep for days(that's probably just they nyquil talking) plus some of them are so quaint and romantic, they don't even have websites. bliss.
