Celebrate Best Friends Day June 8th and National Friendship Day August 15th at a Bed and Breakfast
Girls Getaways: Yoga in Vancouver, Fitness in the Blue Ridge, New York Wine Tasting and More
How would Rhoda & Mary, Ethel & Lucy, and Rachel & Monica celebrate their friendship on National Best Friends Day?
Hopefully not by arguing over when it is. Some of TV's best buddies may say June 8th is the official day to celebrate the ties that bind pals together through thick and thin. Others could argue that August 15th is the official day to buddy-up and revel in sisterhood. In fact, both factions are right. Best Friends Day is June 8th and National Friendship Day is the second Sunday in August. Whichever one you choose, summer is a great time to escape, regroup, and celebrate friendship at one of the thousands of B&Bs and inns on BnBFinder.com offering special girlfriend getaways.
"Whether a group or just two of you, B&Bs offer a staggering amount of variety, flexibility, and amenities that you won’t find included in a hotel stay," points out BnBFinder.com founder and author, Mary White. "Gal groups can enjoy the privacy of their own rooms, and still have easy access to comfortable places to gather together and socialize. WiFi is usually free, as are soft drinks and water, and many inns offer a complimentary wine and cocktail hour, or tea time, and of course, extravagant breakfasts and no room service charges. In fact, I also recommend B&Bs to women business travelers as they offer a secure and comfortable base away from home," adds Ms. White.
Little Bit Country, Little Bit Metro
The Blue Bay Inn in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, realizes friends like a variety of experiences, so they put together the "Pleasure Shopping Extravaganza" special to make sure everyone's needs are met. Be beachcombers by day, browse local antiques and boutiques in this storybook town, then glam up for a night in New York City. The SeaStreak ferry whisks you across the river to the Big Apple for shopping, dinner, or a show. Anything's possible! Don't forget to have a nightcap at the Southwestern-themed Copper Canyon restaurant in the Blue Bay Inn. The tequila tasting menu is comprehensive and the margaritas memorable. This package includes a one night stay, plus roundtrip SeaStreak tickets, and complimentary continental breakfast.
Hijack An Inn!
Round up a passel of five to nine gal pals and take over the ultra-lux 10 Fitch Bed and Breakfast Inn in Auburn, New York. Your "Spoiled Girls" package includes complimentary beverages, hor d'oeuvres, and en suite Swedish massages. Then, gather for a girls' night of gossip and lounging around. The next day, a chauffeur-driven limo whisks you on a guided winery and sightseeing tour of the Finger Lakes region with a picnic lunch lakeside. Evening plans demand nothing more of you than to savor precious time spent with friends and a hearty barbecue served in the elegant dining room or on the terrace overlooking the gardens. This special package includes two breakfasts, picnic lunch, and dinner.
Inn-er Peace
A reason to make peace with your current favorite frenemy, or even forgive the prom queen, who ruined your senior year by stealing your football star boyfriend, is to indulge in the transformative "Namaste Yoga Package" at the Amore by the Sea B&B Beach House Retreat and Spa. This top-rated inn on the shores of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, features a soothing soundscape of gentle waves and occasional calls of birds, the perfect backdrop for mending old rifts and catching up while hiking and biking on nature trails. Celebrate friendship with a tour of Hatley Castle or experience the vibrant nightlife of downtown Victoria and Inner Harbour. Weather permitting, your private yoga session for two takes place on the beach! Your package includes a one hour yoga session, side-by-side Swedish massage, and a relaxation CD that's yours to keep.
Powerful Friends
Imagine a few nights ensconced at a bed and breakfast with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the promise of a fitter friend upon departure -- without forgoing the legendary four-course breakfast and fresh-baked goodies that appear every afternoon at the Andon-Reid Inn Bed and Breakfast in Waynesville, North Carolina. Innkeepers Ron and Rachel are seasoned certified personal trainers and have finessed a "Workout Getaway" package that pampers while you pump, crunch, bend, and munch. They will customize a workout routine that puts you in an exercise groove and on the road to fitness. Of course, friends will have each other for the camaraderie and moral support necessary to keep it up after you go home. Packages include an outstanding breakfast each morning, daily workout sessions, nutritional tips, healthy snacks and a full body massage.
