I am often ask what type of travel is my favorite. For years I thought traveling to a hot sunny beach was my tranquil place to recharge. Turns out I actually would rather not sit in the beating sun and sweat. Nothing against the beach but after becoming a mother, sand does not have the same appeal as it once did. I love the little trips that are shall we say "off the beaten path"? I was driving through the state of Pennsylvania to the MATPRA conference. After searching around on google I found a lovely area to stop and recharge before I started my official "work trip".
Here is my quick trip the Breezewood/Bedford PA area.
Some of you may have heard of this area if you have followed 9/11. It is extremely close to the Pennsylvania field that Flight 93 crashed in. A memorial has been now raised on those grounds in remembrance of that tragic day. Although, not the happiest of things to visit. For me, paying homage to those brave individuals gives me a strong sense of American pride.
Given this historic area I wanted to stay somewhere that contributed to that. I found the 1788 Bed & Breakfast that was once a stage coach stop on the Historic Lincoln Highway. I will not lie and say I know everything about History but I find it extremely fascinating. Pulling up to the location I knew I picked the right place to rest, relax and recharge.
