Our 30th wedding anniversary is coming up this Fall so we're planning a fun trip to celebrate.  I've been doing a lot of the planning and organizing of the vacation,  basically because I love playing travel agent.🛫   In my next life - I'm going to be a travel agent because I actually love the whole process of vacation planning.  I love looking at places to visit, planning adventures, choosing places to stay and most importantly, picking the food to eat while we're there.🤣 

​Choosing hotels and airbnb's hasn't always been something that I was always adept at though.  Thankfully, my super flexible and adaptable husband has always just rolled with it when I've chosen a place to stay that didn't exactly meet our expectations.  Luckily, he still lets me chose our vacation accommodations - and I've gotten better at it.😂 

While doing my research for our Fall anniversary trip, I stumbled on my dream rental space.  The cutest little bakery hotel!!  A BAKERY HOTEL!!! 😍   A hotel with an actual bakery just a single staircase below the sweetest little, rentable room. 😅  It's pretty much my dream to be woken up by the smell of freshly baked bread every morning.  ​As if that wasn't enough, the bakery hotel also an in house bread maker who invites guest to participate in workshops.🥖  ​

Vacation bakeries are my weakness.  It's a good thing that I don't live somewhere that requires me to walk past patisseries on a daily basis because I have absolutely zero will power to pass by the shops with that intoxicating smell, without stepping in.  I'm pretty sure that I've literally drooled over the sweet confections in bakery cases. 🤣  

Any time after noon and I will go for the chocolate bakery treats.  If it's early in the morning, it's the buttery, crispy, sugar sprinkled pastry topped with fruit in a bakery draws my attention immediately.  Is there anything better than a cream cheese filled pastry?  The jury's still out on whether or not is was a good decision for me to figure out how to make these at home, for myself. 🤪
