I've recently returned from a very special trip.
I packed my bags, and the week of July 9th,
Miss Merri Mac and I boarded a plane for Syracuse, NY.

"Once home to Colonel Edwin Barber Morgan, co-founder of the New York Times and American Express, E. B. Morgan House combines luxurious modern aesthetics with the unparalleled beauty of an historic stone mansion. E. B. Morgan House offers seven stylish guest rooms, private marble baths, exquisite living spaces, gracious porches that overlook the lake and lawns, and an exceptional collection of original modern art.
Guests are invited to enjoy E. B. Morgan House as they would a home, with the sumptuous comforts of the library, parlor, dining room, and pantry."

Evenings were spent down by the water around the cozy fire pit as we watched the glorious sunset, glass of wine in hand, and
shared our adventures of the day with other guests, all the while marshmallows roasted for the indulgant childhood treat of s'mores. Fireflies flitted about, and the stars twinkled above.
Oh, how I'm missing these magical times!

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing and perfect Birthday gift Sarah. it's a beautiful place and the Inn looks beyond all expectations. ... wish we'd spent more time in that area when we were traveling.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and memorable way to celebrate your birthday!
ReplyDeleteSarah, such a lovely “home away from home” for your trip to NY and Aurora for the MC barn sale. Your sweet husband gave you a gift that you’ll treasure in memories for a long time. Your room was perfect and with a view! I can’t wait to see more of your trip and what delicious goodies you brought home! Thanks for sharing a little of your exciting trip.......
ReplyDeleteSarah, what a beautiful trip you enjoyed compliments of a sweet and thoughtful hubby. Your home away from home looks elegant and charming! I will be looking forward to seeing more of your trip!
ReplyDeleteDelightful post. I loved the history of the inn and all its amenities. I also enjoyed learning that the founder of American Girl Dolls helped revive houses in Aurora.
ReplyDeleteThe inn sounds amazing. Such a treat for your birthday!
I look forward to hearing about the rest of your trip.
Sarah, I keep losing my comment so I hope this one sticks! I have trip envy! What a beautiful inn, surroundings and scenery! I know you enjoyed the reprieve it offered from the heat. Looking forward to seeing more of your getaway and Barn Sale finds. ♥
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful trip for anyone but especially for YOU! And what a fabulous place to rest after your long flight. That's a beautiful region of the country and I'm dying to hear more about the trip!

Dearest Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThat indeed was a home away from home and a very luxurious one.
Glad you got this as a memory of your milestone birthday!
Looking forward to your other adventures.
Hugs,
Mariette
PS so happy that your posts are showing once again on the side line of my blog!
Oh Sarah, what a wonderful place to stay! Wow, champagne and treats on an MKC plate, you must have felt like a queen! Your husband gave you the gift that will keep on giving with the wonderful memories of your grand experience! Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteJenna
what a beautiful place to stay! It is nice to pamper ourselves at a fancy hotel!
ReplyDeleteYour trip looked like so much fun. Your sweet hubby gave you the perfect gift. What a lovely little town Aurora is. Love touring the E B Morgan House. Sounds like a well planned and fun trip. Maybe one day I can go myself. Thank you Sarah for picking up my goodies.
ReplyDeleteI was truly hoping when I came near the end of this post, that you weren't finished with the whole tale of the trip!! I was mesmerized by the pictures of the Morgan home. My husband and I stay most often at B&B's when we travel, and of course, I'm not in any way comparing your stay to those we've had, other than it's so darn better than a 5 star hotel!!! My mind just drifted back to some special times when you shared the pictures from your evening and morning, and the tasteful treats on the silver platters. Pure luxury and hospitality!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more...

Oh, Sarah, what a perfect way to spend a birthday! Thank you for sharing your photos; I went to college in upstate NY (Oneonta State) , and I know how lovely it is there. Happy Birthday, by the way. Kudos to your hubby for coming up with such a special celebration for your day.
ReplyDeleteSounds absolutely magical. Happy Belated Birthday! We will lunch very soon! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSarah, what a wonderful birthday trip! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, your blog dropped off my sidebar and I always read from there. I am putting it back on when I am done here. What a wonderful, wonderful spot! Amazing. My aunt lived right on Cayuga Lake and her neighbor was Rod Serling. I was lucky enough to meet him as a kid. Love that you were able to make the trip an enjoy every moment of it! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly amazing trip! You truly are enjoying all of summers delicious offerings.
