(Almost) home away from home

We had just  came back from spending a weekend in Virgina which was about 6 hours away. We stayed overnight at Pembroke Springs Resort- a Japanese style bed and breakfast house, own by a Japanese couple (wife Japanese; husband American).  This was our first time staying at bed and breakfast place. The main attraction was their onsen/sentou facility. Since we had decided not to go back to Asia this summer, this trip is almost home away from home.

 

This is the house in the middle of nowhere, really nowhere, up in the hill. Very relaxing.

 We stayed at one of their only Japanese style bedroom.

 Here is the living room that everyone shared- the only place with TV (not inside the room)

 Japanese style dinner and breakfast.

 Since the internet was very slow, and with no TV inside the bedroom, it was a perfect opportunity for some family game time.

 I think it would be a perfect getaway trip during fall season when all the trees turn into red color, that would be a perfect scene...

(We also did a train ride during the trip, will post more photos later)
