Two Days, Done Right

A simple plan that leaves room for nothing in particular

Day One

Arrive & light up

  • Check in, drop the bags, take the slow tour of the inn
  • Downtown at dusk for the square and the shop windows
  • Dinner in town, then the fire pit before bed

Day Two

Battlefield & a show

  • Breakfast at the inn, unhurried
  • The battlefield at first light, when it is quietest
  • A holiday concert, market or historic tour in the afternoon
