We were so excited to be able to stay at the Ashley Drake Inn again during Andrea’s tournament. Â It has been a few years since being there, but Kim Smith treated us as old friends and we enjoyed time to catch up some.
We stayed in the Heritage Room which was plenty big for the three of us. Â Kim still makes wonderful breakfasts and has a large selection of tea to chose from.
After Andrea’s tournament, we had hoped to explore. However, it started to rain, hard, and we stayed inside most of the afternoon relaxing. Â Just for fun, we experimented with my camera!
The Inn’s garden is just starting to bloom and I am sure it will be beautiful once all the flowers pop.  Kim sent us home with mint starters and some flowers for Audrey’s butterflies.  We are hoping that they all survived the trip!
