Brunch and Good-bye

Sunday Brunch at The Dan'l Webster Inn is a feast.

After a restful night's sleep, we ventured downstairs for The Dan'l Webster Inn's Sunday buffet brunch, an expansive feast featuring salads, cheeses, pastries, Belgian waffles, hot entrees, desserts, an omelet bar and a carving station. We weren't exactly ravenous after our late dinner, but we enjoyed sampling the variety of choices available, particularly the fresh fruit, breakfast meats and pastas.

Our time together on Cape Cod was less than 24 hours, but on the return trip to Connecticut, Jessica and I agreed that our girls' getaway had made a world of difference in our mental states and energy levels. A change of scenery, a bit of pampering, satisfying and comforting foods, music and laughter are amazingly restorative, and we found them all at The Dan'l Webster Inn.
