Eating is something we do a lot of while at the Greenbrier. So in comparison to the other meals, our lunch at Cafe Carleton was quite light. We popped in for a quick bite before enjoying some afternoon shopping. As usual, I love the decor. As you can see, there is a food counter with […]
Shopping at the Greenbrier
The Greenbrier has an area that I like to call “Shopper’s Alley”. I have always enjoyed looking in the shops and sometimes buying a few things. This trip, however, my daughter came along and I ended up buying more than usual. If you have a teenage daughter, you understand. 🙂 I’ll start with the […]
Drapers at the Greenbrier
Drapers restaurant is named after Dorothy Draper, the woman who decorated the Greenbrier as it currently looks. She must have been a fun loving person as much as she loved color! Speaking of color, these lovely ladies were waiting to be seated at Drapers and I couldn’t resist getting a group shot. They were happy […]
The Greenbrier Decor
The decor of the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia is like no other place! And I love that! While it wouldn’t be the way I decorate my own house, it is special because you can only find it at the Greenbrier. I also love the details of the patterns. Look closely at the chair […]
Tea time at the Greenbrier
One of my favorite Greenbrier traditions is afternoon tea. It is served every afternoon in the Main Dining Room (to celebrate the Dining Room’s 100th year in service). This is the first time I have been able to share this experience with my kids. My daughter was totally into it, like me, and my son […]
It’s Liebster time again!
I was so honored to get nominated for another Liebster award! This time my nomination comes from Kim at Racing Bananas. Since I have previously told you 11 random facts about myself, I thought I would just insert a link to that HERE and not bore you with it again. What I did do is […]
100 Years Old & Still Amazing!
Some things only improve with age. I’m not one of them! 😉 I can only dream of making it to 100, but I’m sure if I do, I won’t look anything like the picture below, which looks nothing like the girl I was in high school. Oh well! I’m happy, healthy and loving life! But […]
Greenbrier Chandeliers | West Virginia
Every time I have stayed at the Greenbrier, I have enjoyed it’s amazing chandeliers. They are GORGEOUS! This time I decided to take pictures of them to share with you guys. Every time I came across one, I would snap a photo. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized just how many great […]
The Greenbrier Hotel Room
Let me start by saying there are TONS of different types of rooms at the Greenbrier. In previous visits, my husband and I went alone and stayed in traditional rooms. This time we took the kids and we stayed in a Deluxe Room. But the list of room (and cabins) goes on and on. They […]
Packing for the Greenbrier
As a frequent traveler I do lots of packing. I am a planner and find organizing fun (yes, I’m one of those people), so I thought I would show you my packing method for our trip to the Greenbrier. My hope is that you get at least one useful tip for your next trip. 🙂 […]
The Forum at The Greenbrier
My son’s birthday almost always falls on Spring Break. Therefore, we have celebrated his birthday all over the world. Pretty cool for him! This year we were spending Spring Break at the Greenbrier in West Virginia. Since my son’s favorite food is pasta, I decided there was no better restaurant than The Forum. It is […]
Honey Collection
My husband recently went on a business trip attended by people from four states: Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. He was given a gift that included a bottle of honey from each state. I thought this was such a cool idea. I already collect spoons from every state/country that we visit and I have purchased […]
