Williams House dressed for Holidays
This past Saturday was our annual Bed & Breakfast Cookie Tour. All the Inns in our association decorate for Christmas and offer cookies of their choice and recipes that visitors can take home. We also had Amelia Island Carriages provided rides between the Inns and the Library. It was a good day weather wise with temps in the low 70″s and we had a good crowd estimated at about 350 for the four hour tour period. Deborah served a fruit cake cookie and apple cider for refreshments and guests toured 7 of our 10 guest rooms. We begin decorating the first of November and finished Wednesday of this week, so it takes several weeks to put everything out and in its place. Every room gets a christmas tree of some type and there are two in the common areas. Garland drapes door frames and the outside porches and arge red bows abound. It is a great way for everyone to get in the mood for the holidays and start thinking about decorations if they haven’t begun yet. If you missed it this year, plan to come in 2010!

The inn was magnificent, as always. Will burn a disc with the photos I took for you to use as you like.
