Our very last stop to gawk was at the Madonna Inn. Its awesome, and overwhelming, and colorful. It was created by Alex and Phyllis Madonna... and I believe she loved the color Pink... so it was used quite profusely through out!
We stopped for Breakfast on our way to the airport - this was the breakfast room. and that rainbow thing? Thats a Stole that they sell in the gift shop. Could you imagine me wearing that to go feed cows? I think I would be VERY visible!!!
There are 110 Guest rooms and each one is themed different. The staff told us that Phyliss was the one who styled the rooms. ( I think she is in her 90's now)
You all know what caught my eye though right?? haha!! Bessie!!
And then - Looking over Denver.... getting back to reality....
Going back home is always bittersweet! Thanks for the travelogue, I really enjoyed it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very fun place for breakfast. It's always both a relief and a let down to get home from vacation. Hopefully you've gotten back into your groove with your normal routine.
ReplyDeleteWe visited the Inn many years ago. . .I remember being amazed at how many ways pink was incorporated into the rooms! Happy homecoming!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great ending to very special trip!!! (I'm sorry but that last visit looked like a bordello to me, not that I've been in one but it's what I imagine! lol)
