As an innkeeper, we help our guests create memorable vacations and many times don’t allow ourselves the luxury of an escape.  Lynn and I just returned from an 11 day getaway to Seattle and Vancouver, BC.

Using a condo in Yaletown in Vancouver as our hub, we explored the surrounding areas enjoying a harbor cruise, Theatre under the Stars in Stanley Park, the teacup ferry rides to Granville Island,  and a trip to Grouse Mountain with a gondola ride to the top for incredible views.

A highlight of our trip was my first fly fishing adventure on the Pitt River, a glacier fed river. With water temperatures in the 50′s , waders felt great as I landed my first sock-eye salmon within minutes of casting a line.

So, where did you travel this summer?  Have you planned a fall getaway to southwest Virginia? The Appalachian mountains and the beauty of the fall colors are just around the corner.  Let us help you enjoy the wonders of nature in the next few months. Call now so we can help you relax and create a memorable getaway on the New River!  I certainly did!
