We had another very successful weekend for the 2010 Holiday Tour. Although it was a little chiller this year for the tour, the rain did stop in time for the inns that were on tour for Sunday. It was wonderful to see everyone dressed for the Holidays and to hear where they all came from. We visited with a wonderful family from the upper peninsula of Michigan, a newly married couple from New Jersey, and a group of sisters from Tennessee, who traveled to St. Augustine to join the Tour.
The Columbia Restaurant was quite gracious to sponsor the Carriage Way Bed and Breakfast and did they. They made their Chicken and Chorizo Paella served up in a 4 foot Paella pan along with their delicious Sangria. The guests were delighted by the portion sizes served and there may have been a few second servings.
Amy Hendrickson provided the musical talent as she played guitar and entertained the crowd with her angelic voice. Amy had originally planned to play on the front porch, but given the weather conditions she opted for the dining room where she could capture the sun's rays through the front windows
Proceeds from the tour will benefit the "Empty Stocking Fund" which is organized by the
St. Augustine Record. We certainly could not have had such a successful event without their crew of volunteers and support. The Inn Tour is always a top national holiday event in the Southeast. Make your plans to travel to St. Augustine next year and stay in the heart of the holiday spirit. Carriage Way Bed and Breakfast is the better way to stay for the Holidays!
