For our 2nd wedding anniverary, we took a weekend trip to Berea, KY.
We stayed at the Historic Boone Tavern, a stately Inn dating back to the 1900's.
Our room was beautiful!
Also, we just so happened to
be the "Guests of the Day" when we checked in! Our name was on the lobby
marque and we got a coupon for a free dessert at the hotel restaurant!
Part of the "History Package" that we had booked when reserving our hotel room was a tour of nearby Berea College, given by one of the students.
It's a gorgeous campus and the college has a unique "no tuition" history. Read more about it here.
After our tour, we grabbed a pizza at a place called Papaleno's. It was YUM!
Then we turned in and watched the Cincinnati Reds game. Brandon really enjoyed the little bench at the end of the bed....
....it was the perfect viewing TV spot (we ate our free dessert while we watched too).
The next morning we explored the town of Berea, which has many, many arts & crafts stores. It has two districts to explore and can be done on foot if you're up for the challenge.
We also liked the porch of our hotel - sitting and rocking and talking. It had been a busy couple months for us and this was such a nice respite.
For dinner this night, we headed over to the hotel restaurant - also part of the History Package we booked.
It was an awesome meal!! I highly recommend anything from this restaurant.
And it included another dessert! This did not disappoint either.
Our last day in Berea, we had breakfast at a funky little coffee shop.
Our last stop before heading out of town was the Kentucky Artisan Center, where several local artists sell their work.
What a sweet trip we had - can't believe it's been two years already!

To this day, I think Papa Leno's is the yummiest food I have ever had. I've been several times, always driving over to Berea JUST to go there as we're passing through that part of Kentucky. Glad you guys had a good trip!
