So my wife and I decided to get away for the weekend and go down to a bed and breakfast in St. Pete. I usually hate bed and breakfasts being that they are usually frilly and formal. The Dickens House, however, is a 1921 craftsman and it is incredibly relaxing, located right in walking distance of everything, and there is nothing frilly about it. The food is immaculate! Breakfast was eggs benedict with fresh fruit and good coffee and we have free rain of the house. The innkeeper, Ed, is an artist (and chef) and thus has restored much of the house in the original arts and crafts style. If you need a nice weekend getaway from Tampa and don’t want to go to far this is the place. It also has a wonderful front porch, where wine and cheese is served in the afternoons and makes a great place for a composer to relax and write some melodies for an afternoon.

(This was my favorite picture. Sorry about the weddings caption.)
