Educate-Inn Specials - Mr. T was no fool when he advocated students to “Stay in School.”  Lucky for students and educators, many innkeepers are big fans of the education system and are showing their support with appreciative specials of their own.  At The Morgan Inn Bed and Breakfast in Pawcatuck, Connecticut, educators and their families can request the “April Special Educators’ Weekend” from April 12-13, 2010.  The special allows all teachers, administrators, staff and help to receive free admission to The Museum of America and the Sea.  Families are limited to 4 tickets.  Guests must present a school/union ID or a copy of school letterhead.  In addition to spending a day at the museum, guests can look forward to a full breakfast featuring eggs, pancakes or waffles, breads, muffins and fresh fruit.

 

Educators aren’t the only ones who can find special offers at B&Bs.  At The Mark Addy Inn in Nellysford, Virginia, college students in need of an overnight study break can receive a 10% discount with a valid ID.  Put away your books and forget about exams for a day or two and ask the innkeeper to arrange a hot air balloon ride.  The inn is also located near many wineries and vineyards.  Prefer lounging instead?  Homebodies can take in a beautiful sunset on the porch or shoot a game of pool and unwind in the game room.

Lights Out - For many of us, electricity is a must-have necessity, but not for the Amish.  Find out how the Amish live a comfortable life without the use of modern technology by checking into Arcola Flower Patch & Diamond House Bed & Breakfast in Arcola, Illinois.   Ask the innkeeper to arrange a day trip to a typical Amish home, a dairy farm where Amish farmers will explain how they manage day-to-day operations or a guided tour of the neighborhood where you can visit local schools, businesses and homes.  Guided tours also provide information on Amish family life, religious beliefs and lifestyles.  If you want a full Amish experience, stay and dine Amish style.  The innkeeper can make arrangements for you to enjoy a family meal inside an Amish home. 

 

If you’d prefer exploring Amish country on your own, settle in to Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed Bed & Breakfast in Millersburg, Ohio and explores Holmes County, which has the largest Amish population in the world.  Take a buggy ride and shop for handmade quilts, art, furniture and baked goods.  Guests that stay March 5-7, 2010 will have the opportunity to have dinner with author Paul Gaus on Saturday, March 6th.  Gaus is well-known for his Amish mysteries and will discuss his books as well as the lifestyle and culture of Amish teens, a stage known as Rumschpringe.

Good Times - Valentine’s Day may be just around the corner, but there are plenty of other good reasons to celebrate this long weekend. Let the lovefest continue through President’s Day on Monday, February 16 and show your stomach that you care with The Great Texas Flap Jack Flip Off. Check into Ingleside Bed & Breakfast in Brenham, Texas and head on over to the cook off where 8 innkeepers will batter up and flip up their tastiest pancakes. A pancake supper will follow the contest with a small donation from each guest and proceeds will benefit a local spay and neuter clinic for pets.

Keep the good times going and celebrate Fat Tuesday and party with the best of them at Creole Gardens in Louisiana, New Orleans. The inn is located only ½ a block away from the Mardi Gras parade route and the inn will be buzzing with music and drinks all day long. Wake up early and catch the Zulu parade then head back to the inn and watch Miss. Annie, the cook serve up a Cajun style New Orleans breakfast complete with eggs, bacon, pancakes and mimosas. The inn will also serve the traditional King’s Cake and hand party beads for guests. After breakfast, sit in the courtyard or in a rocking chair on the porch and listen to Miss. Annie play classic oldies from her record collection or head back into town for more Mardi Gras action.

Look for more ways to celebrate the holiday weekend at a Texas Bed & Breakfast or at a Louisiana Bed & Breakfast. You can also find last minute Valentine’s Day Specials or use the Advanced Search tool to find more celebratory options near you.
