Sleep in a Tee Pee

Last year Danny and I went with my parents on a winery tour in Zillah, Washington, the fun thing about this winery tour is that the transportation between the wineries was on horseback.  We visited the 'Cherry Wood Bed and Breakfast' to celebrate my 33rd Birthday and my dad's 60th Birthday.  Pepper, the owner and head horse lady, was a quirky funny lady who obviuously loved her horses and enjoyed taking care of people.  Pepper lead us to three wineries where we sampled and purchased wine and she even prepared us lunch.

Back at base camp Pepper also ran a B&B, the unusual thing about this B&B is that all the rooms were outside, and they were Tee Pees.  One of the Tee Pees was just finished being cleaned when we arrived so Pepper's husband brought us on a tour.  The floors were stamped poured concert, there was a luxurious bed with a thick puffy down comforter, a cow hyde rug, and beautiful art work hanging from the wooden beams forming the Tee Pee.  Each Tee Pee had an outdoor cooking area and there were outdoor showers, just like in the western movies where your head and feet showed.  I told myself that someday I would come back and stay the night in these incredible Tee Pees, I haven't made it yet so it is still on my list of 'Places I'd Like to Travel'.
