My first taste of bed and breakfast travel was over 20 years ago, while I was an undergrad in college. For spring break, I drove out to Colorado to visit an old high school friend. My friend's parents had gifted her with a stay at a swanky B&B in Estes Park. We scarfed a bunch of warm, homemade chocolate chip cookies and indulged in luxurious bubble baths by the fire with a view of the Rocky Mountains. It was a much needed respite from final exams and papers. And it ruined me for ever staying in bland, chain motels again.
