Don't we all wish we had more time? Fran and I were on a four-state road trip to see family and friends and had the good fortune to pick Brattleboro's Inn on Putney Road as one of our overnight stays. The Inn is a nearly century-old French-style mansion initially built for the head of the Brattleboro Retreat. Each of the six rooms has its bathroom and is well-appointed and comfortable for sleeping and sitting. The large room on the first floor is a must-do for reading, playing board games, playing pool, or sitting and watching the fire. Breakfast is amazing and comparable to the best of restaurant fare. Alas, family in Albany were waiting for us. We wish we had more time. Upon leaving the Inn, we stopped at the Brattleboro Retreat hiking area. It is open to the public and has beautiful trails of varying difficulty. Finally, while hiking at the Retreat, I realized I had left my water bottle at the Inn. By coincidence, at that moment, Paul, the inn's owner, called to mention my water bottle. When he learned I was hiking, he said not to worry, as he was on his way into town and would leave the bottle by my car. Not only is Paul a master chef, he is a genuinely nice person. We do this multistate tour a couple of times a year. Next time, we'll spend more time at the Inn!
