We arrived 11:00pm on 8/3/07. Tom and Rosemary left a letter taped to the door with the key inside. There were other guests still up watching TV in the living room and there were 2 other envelopes on the door, so we weren't too late. We followed the directions in the letter to find our room which was in the tower. On the outside of the house, the tower appears octagonal and looks almost lighthouse-like. We had to go up a very skinny staircase, through a low, creaky door, and up another steep and skinny staircase. It was quite the adventure. In the morning, Marty would tell Tom (both big Harry Potter fans) that the room should be named something to do with Hogwart's instead of being named after a grandchild like all the other rooms. But the beds were comfy, the A/C was working, there was a cozy electric candle in each of the windows (5 of the 8 octagon sides had a window in it), and we slept through the night.
Breakfast was amazing. There was fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, dry cereal WITH milk, plus french toast and sausage. Everything was delicious. And we got to see Tom and Rosemary. How wonderful! They were working so they took turns coming to our table and chatting with us. It was so great to see them and get caught up.
After breakfast, Tom took us to see The Belmar Arts Council building. He's on the Arts Council (imagine that!) and very involved. They've done some neat art exhibits and events. Here you can see they're working on a mural on the outside of their building. They also have blue waves pained down the middle of the road leading to the building so you can follow the path to find them. The building is down near the docks.
