The Inn at Little Washington

[Brute]

My wife and I are attending a wedding in VA…nearby, a place that my wife has always wanted to stay at…the Inn at Little Washington. This the Main Inn, built in 1895; it houses rooms, a bar and a three star Michelin restaurant run by chef/owner Patrick O’Connell

Aside from the Main Inn, there are also rooms in other buildings…this was The Parsonage, originally built in 1800; it has six rooms, one of which we stayed in.
