Christmas at the Eastman Inn

We love Christmas so much around here....the house all decorated....waiting for Santa. The Grandkids are at their own homes this year, so we will be open for the holidays

Speaking of Grandchildren, we may have a Christmas baby. I am waiting for news from our daughter in New York. She is at the doctor at this very moment....rather then wait around I went shopping to Carters and Gymboree for Children....Ok, Ok, I spent more money then planned but the prices were 70% off and I could not pass it up. My grandson deserves the best.
Here he is in the 'cooker' as I like to call it, and his sister "Cali" is jumping up on Mom, anxious for mom to get back down to regular size so they can all 3 go for walks !!!! It has been so long since Alicia was born I cant remember how small an infant really is. I can't wait...did I say that already ? Sherry will be coming in when I have to leave for NY.....

Thanks to all our Guests

I wanted to Say Thanks to all the loyal guests who come time after time to spend their precious vacation/holiday time at the Eastman Inn. We have truly found some great friends...To Judy L. and her friend Doris...Kevin and Cynthia, Phil and Joann, Wendy and Steven M. . You all being here at the Eastman Inn this past weekend helped cheer up the Inn for the Holidays. Friends like you make the holiday spirit 'real' for Sherry and myself. We both recently lost beloved family members and our spouses are far away. So again thank you for sharing the Holiday's with us and we hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Peace to All.

Cookie Tour a Tasteful Success

If you missed the Inn to Inn Cookie Tour you missed a very good time here in the Mount Washington Valley. This was our 13th year and it was pretty exciting.

Each Inn had 2 types of cookies on display and for the tasting. We did a German Pfeffernusse and Chocolate Kalua mini brownies.

And for the Gingerbread Contest, Sherry made a replica of the North Conway Railroad Station. We are proud to report that we won 3rd place in the Vote. Derek at the Admiral Perry won first place and Marc at the Darby Field won second place.

If you are looking for a fun and delicious thing to do in the early Summer, our Inn to Inn Herb Tour will feature tasty tidbits made from fresh Herbs. At the Eastman Inn we will cook all weekend using our chosen herb. We will have samples of foods to take home and you will receive a recipe book to store the recipes you receive from all the Inns. So join us this June. We are starting to get reservations and would love to have you here

First Snowfall/Hint of Gingerbread House

Wow, Today we had our first real snowfall. About 12 inches have fallen just in time for the Annual Inn to Inn Cookie tour taking place this weekend. Sherry is almost finished with our gingerbread creation. In this blog there is a hidden clue to what our Gingerbread is going to look like. The Theme this year is Scenes of New England.. Well back to baking , only 759 more cookies to go. I have 1 more package left that we can sell by Friday at the latest so call today if you wish to join us for this fun filled weekend.

Back in the USA

The Eastman Inn has been open, but I (Art) have been gone for 3 weeks. I took my wife to Abu Dhabi where she will be working for the near term.

Back at the Inn, Sherry has done a terrific job getting the Inn ready for the Holidays. Decking out the Inn in its Christmas Glory. We still have 1 room left for the Cookie tour weekend event on Dec 12 and 13th. It will be another spectacular Cookie Tour, with guests getting to travel between 13 Inns to sample dozens of cookies. If you have not made your reservation, you need to do so very soon or you will miss out.
