After watching everyone else, including his big brother, order off the fancy menu, Nicholas began insisting he wanted to order off it, too. He even ate some of what he ordered.

Family dinner on the porch of the Grand Hotel the evening before departure
I realize as I try to choose pictures to include that you can’t capture a trip in a handful of pictures. Ah well, you do the best you can.

KATHLEEN…HAVE YOU SEEN THE FILM ‘SOMEWHERE IN TIME” WHICH TAKES PLACE THERE WITH JANE SEYMOUR AND CHRIS REEVE AND CHRISTOPHER PLUMBER ? YOUR FAMILY AND PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Oh yes, we’ve seen that movie.
That movie is the reason our family went there–my in-laws love the movie! 
What a gorgeous place. I love the last shot on the porch. (I was wondering, @kathleen462, if this was the setting of that great old movie!)
It looks like you had a great time! I am now in pursuit of chocolate ice cream!
Beautiful place for your family dinner! Great pictures!
