Wilmington…if you ever get the chance…

Ahhhh, vacation.  Jason and I spent Friday and Saturday in Wilmington, which may not sound like much of a vacation to most, but to us it was a welcome escape from  what’s become an incredibly hectic spring.  We’re relatively low-maintenance as far as vacations go, typically we’re just happy being away from home.  Give us a clean bed, and access to a clean bathroom, and we’re pretty much set. Throw in a bed and breakfast housed in a building that was erected in 1922, interesting conversation with other travelers, a perpetually begging dog and an innkeeper with seemingly few other interests than feeding us homemade cooking at every turn…well, then we’re just over the moon.  This weekend we stayed at the Port City Guest House run by a lively lady named Sophie whose sole purpose in life was to ensure we didn’t go hungry.  Before last weekend, I didn’t know it was possible to make waffles without using Bisquick, but let me assure you, it is.  And once you’ve eaten a waffle that’s been lovingly made to order and topped with blueberry syrup (also homemade), there’s no way you’ll look at your waffle-maker the same again.  Who knew the little machine that someone gifted us with several Christmases ago had so much potential?
