I recently finished reading Nora Roberts' The Next Always. It was absolutely wonderful, and is the inspiration for this edition of "travel inspiration".
The book is the first in a trilogy set in Boonsboro, MD. It revolves around three brothers and 3 women friends (very convenient, considering it's a trilogy, don't-ya-think?). I will tell you nothing more, other than the fact that the brothers are in the middle of restoring an old historic building to well-deserved glory. The building is to be the Inn Boonsboro, a unique hotel with each room bearing a name and theme. I was thrilled when I found out the Inn is no work of fiction, and is actually owned by Nora Roberts herself!
All rooms, except one, are named for and inspired by literary couples.
Here's a quick sampling:
 |
| The Titania and Oberon room (A Midsummer Night's Dream) |
 |
| The Nick and Nora room (The Thin Man) |
 |
| the Jane and Rochester room (Jane Eyre) |
Each room has it's own unique feel, and even has its own scent! Bath amenities are made specially for the Inn Boonsboro at Cedar Ridge Soaps.
While you're a guest at the Inn, you even have access to the kitchen. There you will find complimentary coffee and soft drinks, in addition the the meals and snacks the innkeeper prepares.
