This is my second time to stay at the Rosen House Inn in Fort Worth. This time I booked the largest room, the Fairmont Suite. I love it. Spacious, comfy, huge bathroom. Definitely worth paying a visit.

Ellerbe Fine Food Fort Worth

My friend told me to eat here.
It was good.
No, it was really good!
It was great!

I loved everything about Ellerbe, from the ambiance (old gas station redone) to the food!

my husband and I both ordered fish dishes, and shared the charcuterie cheese platter. Yum!

Villa Del Mar Turks and Caicos

Let me just start by saying I loved Villas Del Mar. Every staff member there was super nice, friendly, and helpful. At the beach, the staff was wonderful. I didn't catch the name of the beach person but he was so helpful.

I booked VDM because when I travel I like space, and I also really like a kitchen and washer dryer. These are real luxuries for me. I reluctantly gave up beach front local for these amenities. But guess what! The beach was literally right across the road. It was so close that you could walk over in a minute! I'm so glad we stayed here. The hotel itself was beautiful and as were the grounds. They have a bar that's open until about 8 or 9, but there is no restaurant here. It would be nice if they served snacks, or at least had someone that could get food from the seaside cafe like at their beach section. This didn't bother me too much. They also served a continental breakfast every morning. Plenty of breads, pastries, fruits, cereals-- things like that.
This is place to relax. It's family oriented, so kids are around. It's not a party place, which is perfect for me! We stayed in a two bedroom unit, and it was spacious and nice.

I would stay here again!

Rosen House Fort Worth

We recently stayed at Rosen House on a trip to Fort Worth. I always like to stay somewhere different, and I also like a nice B&B. Rosen House was nice,
quaint and offered a great breakfast. They were also nice. I'd stay there again.

Hotel Alexis Seattle

The Hotel Alexis in Seattle is my favorite kind of medium sized boutique hotel. This property is ideally located between the water and the middle of town. The staff there were all more than nice and took care of everything we needed. The room was beautifully decorated in a comfortably trendy way. All the food was delicious. I'd highly recommend anyone thinking about this hotel to just do it!

Azalea Plantation Fort Worth

We stopped in at Azalea Plantation the last time we were in Fort Worth. This little B&B was cozy and sweet. The best part were the owners. They were really nice, and cooked a good breakfast as well.

We enjoyed our stay in the Paris room. It actually had another small side room attached to it.

Other things to do and eat in Seattle

Go to Bainbridge Island. Seriously, just go. This little slice of the world is beautiful. With quaint shops and restaurants lining the streets to galleries, there is something for everyone here. The bonus is the quick 35 minute ferry ride from Seattle.






We ate at Harbor Public House, a kind of a pub place with local fare. No kids allowed, twenty one and up only.

Fish and chips were pretty tasty. Tuna sandwich was ok. It was raw, and although I love raw fish I like it better in sashimi than in a sandwich.

They have a great view outside too.
















Mora Ice Cream Company

Absolutely dreamy ice cream. I had Swiss chocolate. The girls working were rude, but hey, the ice cream is delish!














Pikes Chowder

The crab roll is ok.
The chowder is good!

A Japanese fusion hot dog? Hell yes! Interesting favors. Yum!
