After visiting the Aquarium, we felt a little tired and decided it's time for us to check into our B&B for the evening.
Our Bed and Breakfast Inn is called "The Jabberwock Inn". It is located just about 4 block up the Cannery Row which was quite convenient.
We were first welcomed by the owners, John and Dawn. It's so lovely that John and Dawn knows our name even without our introduction. Immediately, we were given a set of keys which includes the key to the front door and our room. It made me feel so at home by this. Then, we were shown around the house. It was a fun little tour. The decorations of the house is so adorable with lots of Alice in Wonderland themed objects and arts.
It's even more surreal when we entered our room, "Mome Rath". The sight of the King sized bed was so welcoming. There were words painted on the walls above the bed which I didn't understand at the time. Then I spotted the fireplace and the heart-shaped hot tub which created such romantic atmosphere for us. After the attentive tour of the house and the room, Dawn left us alone, but not before she told us about the 'Sherry and hors d'oeuvre' which will be served on the glassed-in sun porch at around 5pm.
Let's share some of the pictures I had taken around the room first.
Left to right: Entrance to the Jabberwock Inn; Our King sized bed; the elegant sink in the room.
From left to right: The jacuzzi tub at the far end of the room with the little toilet room behind it; the little toilet with painting on the wall, the wall was supposed to be a doorway to the hall outside, but they sealed it with this fun wall painting; a beautiful mirror for the lady of the room.
Left to right: The fireplace; the shaving mirror for the gentleman, bathrobes are provided for the guests so after the climb out of the hot tub, they can just change into the comfortable robes.
Left to right: a candle holder on top of the fireplace; a medicine cabinet provides some of the hygiene products for the guests ; A bookcase filled with books and magazines, Mike found "Alice in Wonderland in there".
Left to right: A jar of incense adds a welcoming touch to the room ; Our room through the looking glass ; The towel rack.
Left to right: A lace curtain separates the doorway and the hot tub ; we ran a bubble bath in the tub (How romantic!) ; that's the view when we first opened the door to the room.
After having a little tour of the room (opening every drawer we can find, turning on and off the fireplace, checking out what switch turns on which light and admiring the lovely tub), we decided it's time to go downstairs to do the same with the rest of the house and to satisfy my photo-taking craze.
Left: I think this is the 'Tulgey Wood' room which is right across the hall to ours. It was not occupied that day though. One thing good about this B&B is the door is opened for the vacant rooms so guests can check it out possibly for their next trip. Middle picture: The hallway on our floor. Right: A guest book on the desk. We forgot to leave our greetings and comments though!
Left: The detached bathroom for the Tulgey wood room. Middle: After climbing up the the 3rd floor, we see a winding staircase for emergency. Imagine a grounded kid would climb down the stairs to sneak out? :D. Right: An interesting sculpture of the 'jubjub bird'? :D
Left: climbing down the stairs to the main floor. This is the dinning table in the dinning room. Middle: the grandfather clock which have a nice chime near the main entrance. Right: lovely counter with classic water jug and basin on top.
Left: A rainbow colored drawing of the word "Jabberwock" hangs on the entrance towards the staff area. Right: Mike was digging through the many boardgames provided for the guests.
Left: An antique heater in the glass covered patio. Middle: Inside the patio. There is a piano at the far end of the patio, too bad I can't play. Right: I like the design of this candle holder.
