Fall for Maurices - Day One

This past weekend was remarkable. I was fortunate enough to spend a Girls Harvest Weekend courtesy of Maurices and the gracious host, Tieka of Selective Potential
Friday evening, we met up at the charming and historic Leonard at Logan Bed and Breakfast to meet the other fabulous bloggers, along with Mary of Digital Brand Architects. Everyone was so kind and welcoming.
 

The B&B was SO amazing. When I first stepped in, I was greeted by the innkeeper, who was waiting to take me on a mini tour around the house and introduce me to her husband who cooked all of the meals in the house. The house is almost 100 years old, built in 1914 and owned by Harry Carr Leonard. He was in charge of manufacturing for the Leonard Refrigerator Company and become the president of H. Leonard & Sons.

Once we got settled in, we headed off to Grove for some wining and dining. The farm-to-table was delicious and the company was fantastic. For a cocktail, I ordered the autumn sangria, which consisted of red wine, brandy, peach liquor, Triple Sec, orange juice, cranberry juice, clove, cinnamon, and fresh fruit. It was superb.

For my first course, I chose the Visser Farm potato gnocchi. My taste buds were booming with happiness.
Second course choice was the bay scallops and chickpeas.
And for my third course, I went with the Skuna Bay Salmon. Incredible!


After our dinner, we headed back to the Bed & Breakfast for some much needed relaxation time. Tieka and I were lucky enough to stay in the Grand Duke room, which was the master suite of the house. We changed into our brand new Maurices PJs and fell fast asleep.
