Saving the Best for Last!

After Nashville, my assignment was to point my little self homeward. First, I treated myself to a night at the Seelbach Hotel, on Muhammed Ali Boulevard in Louisville, Kentucky. This was a regular stop during another business life that ended about 22 years ago! It was Louisville where I watched the Red Sox win -- yawn -- yet another World Series... wahoo! Then a night in Maryland where I enjoyed the highest-mounted showerhead I've ever found in a hotel. (Please note that this steamy shotwill be the only naked picture of me in this blog.) As you tall people out there know, high-mounted showerheads are unheard of in the hotel world, and a welcome relief.

Before I knew it the highways looked familiar, as I crossed the Hudson River into New York City on the George Washington Bridge.
Seeing the GW Bridge was a childhood treat that I can remember back to the early 1960's, when we'd use it as a reference for finding the Little Red Lighthouse en route to visiting my Gram in Manhattan!

The GW meant I was minutes from Ted 'n' Sue's in Pelham Manor, so I spent a restful night in the suburban splendor of Westchester County. Ted baked a homemade meatloaf to celebrate, and we had a generally homey evening before I headed into Connecticut the next morning, where I visited and lunched with Auntie and Unc in Wilton, clear proof that I had indeed saved

The Best for Last!

I've just driven 10,500 miles around our nation of spectacular beauty, enjoying culinary delights, goosebump panoramas, the best in architecture, and the warmest hospitality, but nowhere was the food better, were the views more awesome, were the buildings and grounds more impressive, nor was the hospitality more heartfelt than at Auntie and Unc's!For fifty years now they've been the best Aunt and Uncle a youngster such as I could have, and checking in with them in Wilton was an apt reminder I was returning to home that day... to New England and to my family!
