Visiting Massachusetts, Part I
We stayed at the John Carver Inn & Spa in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Amoeba’s wonderful, lovely, and delightfully mouthy niece, Amanda, works there. We were given the Queen’s Suite, which has a wonderful queen-sized feather-topped bed we adored. It also came with feather pillows. Both the bed and the pillows were fluffy yet firm, providing the best of both textures.
This is the queen-sized feather-top bed I very much wanted to figure out how to get into the suitcase and bring home. Amoeba wouldn’t help me. Sometimes he is a real pain.
Another view of the queen bed, and the bedroom side of the double-sided fireplace. Beside the fireplace is a small shelf where were were gifted with bottled water daily. There was also a one cup coffee/tea maker and a refrigerator.
Here is the dream bathtub big enough for a party, that neither of us used. Mostly our time in our room was spent sleeping, getting ready to go, or a few minutes of checking email.
Here is Amoeba sitting at the desk in the living room. Even though we were on vacation, he did have to address a couple of work matters — although this looks to me like he was answering comments on my blog. To the right you can see the couch, the Mac laptop I was using, and the small throw blanket provided to the room. To the left you can see an armour enertainment center that housed the big TV. We never turned either TV on. I did notice that the big TV boasted a DVD player and a game system.
Here is the opposite view of the room. You can clearly see the double-sided gas fireplace and the couch where I did most of my blogging. We quite enjoyed this room and want to thank Amanda and the staff at the John Carver for a very nice stay.

Hi, Ian! We had a lovely time. The trip was all about family and very relaxing and enjoyable.
Looks like a lovely, cozy place to spend some quality couple time! Loving the dual sided fireplace 🙂
Jenn — the room is designed for romantic getaways. It comes with luxury robes, big fluffy towels and and lots of privacy.
I’m not sure I would have ever come home!

.-= tilden´s last blog ..SWS 02.27.10 =-.
Tilden — I felt that way when we first went in, but it really wasn’t that complicated once I figured out the maze.
That is a lovely room. I have never seen walls like that around a bath — so pretty!
.-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Going Home =-.
Barbara — that is a hand-painted mural around the tub. I made a point of checking the wall to see if it was paper. It’s not.
That is such a quaint and cozy room. Too bad you didn’t have time to curl up on the sofa next to the fireplace with a nice book. What a fantastic view from the bath! hee hee.
.-= Church Lady´s last blog ..Fun Monday – School Memories =-.
Church Lady, I didn’t get to do much reading there, but I did do my blogging curled up by the fire.
I’ve been known to check the label on a hotel mattress…as I age a good nights sleep is a really big deal!
.-= shelly´s last blog ..Sedums =-.
Shelly — I thought about checking the label every time I laid down. but I never got up and did so, and didn’t think of it in the mornings.
by the looks of it, this suite must be at least twice the size of my flat *sigh*
.-= polona´s last blog ..postcard =-.
Polona — oh my. I guess you don’t even want to hear about my 1100 sq. ft.house then, because this suite was no more than two rooms ….
Oh, that’s a very cozy hotel room.
.-= Silverneurotic´s last blog ..Snow and renovations =-.
SN — actually, it was quite spacious — although it was comfy.
What positively LOVELY accomodations! There is absolutely NO WAY that bathtub would have gone UNused if I had been staying there! I would have given up blog AND sleep time for that tub! Yes, I would!
.-= Melli´s last blog ..Lovely Weekend =-.
Ah, Melli, but I have one of these in my own home, you know. 😉
Oh man. I want to go!
This makes my house look like a dump LOL
Okay, no, I guess it’s the cheap furniture and the kids’ messes that make my house look like a dump.
🙁
Meanwhile, I do have a nephew in Massachussetts whom I’m sure would like a visit!

Susan — if he lives anywhere near the John Carver Inn, go visit. Btw, that couch in the living room is a hideabed.
