For our vacation/ anniversary trip this year, we took a trip to Newport, Rhode Island for a few days. Newport is famous for its "summer cottages" (castle-like mansions to us non-Vanderbilts ;) ). We stayed in a mansion that was converted into a bed and breakfast. The interior was furnished and decorated beautifully. 
One sitting room - where guests could play a board game, game of chess, read, or play piano
Another sitting room , with a door to the porch just out of sight to the left
The breakfast room set for the next day's breakfast
The fireplace in our room
One of the summer "cottages" at night
Sailing! We had to do work. We were the grinders. Grind Grind Grind Grind! That just means that my husband had to turn the handle and I had to pretend that my efforts were helping too!
