I'm so glad to see life in Galveston, I was worried after the hurricane!!!! The Dickens event looks like so much fun!!!! Sorry about your B&B experience, I have stayed at a B&B once it was a good experience and I 'm glad I did it, but I prefer a Hotel where I feel like I can do what I want!!!! Like heat or Air Conditioner if I want to!!!! YOu understand!!!!<br />I love the snow and rain but it did not ruin your day!!! Good for you!!!!<br />hugs,<br />jamieMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070694544133528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884871124956664073.post-84292961424148990242009-12-08T18:54:33.395-06:002009-12-08T18:54:33.395-06:00looks like fun. to bad about the B&B exp.

I'm sorry about the ...This looks like such fun. I'm sorry about the B & B. You are different than I am...I tell the good, bad and the ugly when it comes to hotel reviews. I like to warn people when a place is bad. I think to expect you to pay to stay somewhere that was 62 degrees is not acceptable. It does look really pretty...so it is a shame it wasn't amazing for you. The food looks delish...and the elephant ride, you are so brave! I can't wait to see the tablescapes.<br /><br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884871124956664073.post-18084409076386312332009-12-08T09:36:54.842-06:002009-12-08T09:36:54.842-06:00What a fun trip.

It has been completely redone. They own an inn in Cape May, NJ, as well and have been inkeepers for many years. <br /><br />The Dickens festival looks like loads of fun!

We have stayed in a B&B there...don't remember the name and had a very good experience.
