Extended Pleasure Trip on Nantucket

During my retirement years my husband and I decided to travel. Our recent endeavor took us to Nantucket Island. I can say that the island is one of the most interesting places in the world, rich in history, beauty, charm, and the best food. We stayed at the Century House, a bed-and-breakfast that was recommended to us. When we arrived on the island it seemed very peaceful. We walked from the ferry to the inn and enjoyed the ocean breeze and the warm sunrays. Homemade chocolate chip cookies were awaiting us. And then our room, a king size bed, plenty of books to read, and the verandah where we could sit early in the morning and eat breakfast berries. Flowers were everywhere. We walked into town on cobblestoned streets amazed at the old homes. We were told about a close by beach, semi-private, so we walked there. On our way we stopped for some sandwiches. Truly the best bread I ever had, fresh baked daily. I still dream about the breakfast and the bread which is also served mornings at the inn. I can't wait to return. The price was just right. I felt we stayed at a luxury B&B because of all the modern amenities, beautifully decorated rooms, super clean and comfortable, yet family like atmosphere. We also met other couples. The best part was sitting in the garden or on the verandah after a long day. They had everything we needed. The staff recommended great restaurants and activities. My husband and I will likely return to the Century House and make this a permanent vacation.
