The Inn: Perfect for a family Reunion
As the new century becomes busier many lose close contact with
old friends, and occasionally, even members of the family.
But suddenly realization hits.
And that's why increasing numbers of people are planning reunions,
and really enjoying them.
And need one suggest that an inn is the perfect place for a reunion?
Of course, the suggestion extends to planning that next gathering - or perhaps
it's the first - at Walker House in Lenox, Massachusetts.
Each year the Inn plays host to all kinds of reunions - families
whose members travel from all parts of the country to enjoy happy times past,
or old school chums who are able to rekindle the romance and joy of the first
experiences of adulthood.
Sometimes it's a reunion of old neighbors or a convivial gathering of those
who worked together in a company that may be long buried in the relentless world
of mergers, and now is only a memory in the hearts of those who once cherished
the bond that it created.
Walker House is the perfect reunion spot. The large parlor is
ideal for cocktails and endless conversation, and for gathering around the grand
piano for those songs immediately recalled by everyone.
The big dining room is the spot for special meals, breakfast served
every morning at the inn, and luncheons or dinners that may be prepared together
in the kitchen by family members or friends.
And, of course, any of the fine restaurants in Lenox Village will be glad to
provide a royal feast for the entire clan with prior reservations.
Often, in reliving the old days. reunion members settle down for
games of Scrabble, Monopoly or cards - all in fully supply in the parlor, along
with a large collection of antique picture puzzles.
The Walker House Cinema in the library is a film lover's dream,
with a large collection of classic and more current movies projected on the
big screen with stereophonic surround sound. Opera fans also will discover an
array of their favorite work from the lyric theatre.
And if the guys who love sports can wrestle the Cinema away from
the movie fans, the big screen also is a great for watching football, basketball
and other televised sports.
Venturing outside the Inn, guests at the reunion also can enjoy
the activities for which the Berkshires are renowned: outdoors - skiing and
snowshoeing in winter, hiking any season, bicycling.
Others will discover a number of art galleries and antique stores
a few steps away, and just a bit farther, super museums like the Norman Rockwell,
the Berkshire, MASS MoCA, the Clark Institute and the Williams College Museum.
For those gifts to take home, shoppers in the group will be delighted with the
upscale boutiques and gift shops around the corner in Lenox Village, and the
big factory outlet mall just 15 minutes away in Lee.
Obviously, it is not going to be difficult to find things to do
at the next reunion. The big question is: Why did it take you so long to plan
a reunion?
Do it right away. The Inn is available throughout the year, but the best times
are during the spring, early and late autumn, and during the winter, when most
people are eager to have some fun with those they love.
