Perfect Marriage Proposal: Consider a Romantic Bed and Breakfast
Jane Leisteiner
Few events in life are as memorable as the moment you ask somebody to share the rest of your life with you. Why not give that special occasion a spectacular backdrop like a sunset in Hawaii or a majestic mountain setting? Special bed and breakfast inns throughout our country afford hassle-free access to some of the most amazing natural landscapes America has to offer. Set the tone of your future life together with invigorating outdoor adventure followed by cozy indoor luxury - just remember to pack the ring!
Propose on the Beach
Located in the West Maui Mountains, the Ho?oilo House might also make a great place for the honeymoon, too. With grand views of the ocean (which has some great spots for snorkeling with sea turtles and a wide variety of fish), you can also catch the sun rising on Mt. Haleakala at this inn. But don't stop there, consider doing the proposal on a helicopter tour or after zip-lining over the treetops. Any number of adventures could make the proposal a special event.
How About Cherry Blossoms?
Visit the Embassy Circle Guest House in Dupont Circle at Washington, D.C., in the spring and you can capture the moment with a little help from nature. When the cherry trees bloom in D.C., you'll understand why Japan takes time off every year to celebrate them. The pink-white blooms can provide a picturesque and romantic backdrop even in the heart of a city -- perfect for popping the question.
Propose on a Glacier
The most adventurous might consider a special trip to Alaska. Built one hundred years ago Alaska's Capital Inn will surround you with history and spectacular natural beauty. By day, venture out for whale watching, glacier climbing, kayaking, or salmon or halibut fishing. Seafood lovers are in luck, because local seafood is frequently incorporated into the gourmet breakfast served daily.
Propose Beneath the Desert Skies
The Adobe Grand Villas, an Arizona bed and breakfast, was honored as one of the top romantic inns of the year in 2006 by American Historic Inns. It's not just the inn that is superb, but the location is set against Thunder Mountain's red rocks and the wide desert sky. And if you want a twist to the occasion, you might consider the Out of Africa Wildlife Park as a unique place to pop the question.
Amid Pine Trees and a Mountain Lake
Located among the tall pine trees of Big Bear, this California bed and breakfast inn offers a secluded, romantic setting. Take a chilled bottle of champagne in front of your crackling fire during winter. Or head out on horseback with a picnic basket during the summer. Whatever the season, you can set the mood at the Gold Mountain Manor.
Make it an unforgettable experience...whether it's near the red rocks in Arizona or a romantic manor in the California mountains.
