Stillwater, MN - September/October 2022

For an anniversary trip, J and I went to Stillwater, MN. I'd read about a bed and breakfast named the Rivertown Inn. Each room is decorated to match books and stylings of different authors. J and our daughter A are both huge fans of Agatha Christie novels, and so I reserved us the Agatha Christie Grand Suite.

The bedroom and entryway are styled like a Pullman car, a la Murder on the Orient Express. The bathroom is styled in Egyptian stylings like Death on the Nile. Here are some of the photos I took of the B&B:

The main house; our suite was in the carriage house next door.

Our Pullman car-style bedroom

You can see that the bed in the background is like a Pullman car - which means you have to crawl in from the bottom!

Death on the Nile bathroom

The breakfasts were incredible!

We spent a lot of time wandering around town, but maybe the most fun activity was a candlemaking workshop at the spooky Carpe Noctem Candle Co. We got to pick and/or create our own scents, and then pour our own candles. A few photos:

We got to choose our own candle jars and scents.

I can't cook, so it's a real surprise measuring out everything sucked!
