Our B & B Dream

I am a dreamer.
I have been this way most of my life.

Lucky for me I married a dreamer.
And we have had our share of (crazy) dreams together.
One of those dreams has been 
owning & running a
Bed & Breakfast.
It always seemed perfect.
I had the design background
 &
 he had the restaurant and accounting background.
So about 9 years ago 
we began to plan & we began to look.
We narrowed down our location to the
 North Fork of Long Island. 
On many occasions we flew home
from Colorado to see new listings.
Nothing seemed quite right.
Although we were dreamers,
 we were also realists.
 I think at the time having a family
seemed to be the bigger dream.
And ultimately that dream won us over:).
  
A few days ago while driving
through the quaint seaside town of
Greenport, NY
my jaw dropped.
This was one of the B & B's we looked at.
Only it DID NOT look like this at the time.
isn't is beautiful!





You can find more info  and pictures here.
The owners did an amazing job.
It makes me want to plan a weekend trip with that dreamer
husband of mine:).

"Sometimes on the way to the dream
you get lost and find a better one."
Happy Thursday!
