Susan and Ed Williams, celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary, recently visited historic Bedford Springs Resort in the high, rugged mountains of southwest Pennsylvania.
The weather was a bit cool and damp but not too mild to keep Ed and Sue from enjoying their mornings in their rockers under the veranda, where they were served breakfasts of fresh coffee, bagels and cream cheese.
Susan said the evening fare was sumptuous though Ed, being diabetic, exhibited great discipline and held himself to small, simple, high protein servings or no meals at all.
Susan spent much of her time catching up on her reading, finishing a book and a half during their six-night stay. After sundown they spent time around the bonfire, having quiet conversations with a dozen or so other guests who rotated in and out of the reclining chairs.
Though they played golf on the resort's challenging, often vertical 18-hole course, Susan and Ed decided merely to watch as others swam in the indoor and outdoor pools, played horseshoes, volleyball or participated in other activities.
The resort, more than 100 years old, can accommodate more than 200 guests and has been visited by Susan's cousins Ed and Greg Fieg. The Williamses live in Chicago, from whence many of the resort's visitors hail. Cleveland, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Youngstown, Buffalo and Harrisburg are also within relatively easy driving distance.
To check this place out or book a weekend, don't hesitate to contact Susan at Goodbuy Travel in Chicago by clicking on her website's link, found in the left column of http://www.fiegfamily.blogspot.com.
