Romantic Getaway

The Wedding Crashers House

A charming manor house resort and spa, The Inn at Perry Cabin sits in beautiful gardens that reach down to the gentle waters of Maryland’s Eastern shore. Steeped in history and Orient-Express style, this colonial mansion is the perfect rural retreat. While just a pleasant drive from Washington, D.C. and less than two hours from Baltimore and Philadelphia, it could be a world away.

Originally built in 1816 by Samual Hambleton, a navy veteran and aide to Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Commodore Perry is famous for his declaration " we have met the enemy, and they are ours".
In 1989 Sir Bernard Ashley of Laura Ashley PLC bought the home and renovated to a 41 room luxury hotel. Orient Hotels purchased the property in 1999 and completed a $17 Million renovation.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward stayed here, as well the home was the site of the main wedding reception in the film the film The Wedding Crashers, starring Vince Vaughn and Own Wilson.

For quiet and relaxation take a walk around historic and beautiful St. Michaels Maryland. Home of the St. Michaels Running Festival in May.

The Cannonball house, the British fired a cannon into this house and the cannonball is imbedded into the wall.

Misfit Marriage

If you have had an affair at anytime or if you are thinking of having an affair, you must believe this much: that fated love is a lie, and monogamous love a deception. Let these two sentiments be your guiding light. Doesn't mean you're incapable of love, doesn't mean you don't want what love —or even marriage —can offer. It's just a paradox. You have what you believe, and it is never the lie.

At home, I am attentive to the needs of my marriage. It is a kind of test, and men need tests. I love my wife, but it's nobody's business how I deal with that love. For some guys they escape by popping into strip clubs on the way home, jerking off to YouPorn, or prowling Craigslist looking for a lonely woman in the same spot. I don't do any of that. My local life is clean. I am focused and strong and suited to what is near me —my family, my wife, my job. In some ways, that's because I don't hesitate to cheat.

Of course men cheat, in part at least, out of frustration with their relationship with their wife. In some ways, this is justified, because when angry, when entrenched and implacable, a wife offers no succor. But this is not me. And believe me I know, that hell truly hath no fury like a woman scorned. I have made my mistakes. There are women who despise me. Women will never understand how men can cheat because they think of it in terms of themselves —as something done to them. They treat it as an affront first, as a breakdown in social order, then a wound, then a mortal wound. And this is a key. They do this because women are singular, in both their desire and their demands. This is why I serve women well. I treat them as planetary objects, individual and quirky, gravitational and unique. When I am with a woman, in a hotel or in her car, pressing her up against a soda machine in the stairwell, I let everything else fall away. I am with her without pretense, obligation, or fear.

I love women. I love everything about a new woman: her smell, her armpits, her wrists. I have fucked large, ugly women and small, fragile ones. I've had an ongoing relationship with a friend from college for sixteen years. I've fucked lesbians in a hot tub, hotel clerks in my room, and a cop in uniform. All while I was married. I wish the list were longer. Sometimes it is ridiculous and other times pure heaven.

You learn things when you cheat. It is fun. There are a lot of laughs. You can be more honest with a woman who has forty-five minutes than a woman with whom you'll spend forty-five years. It doesn't mean you must be; it means you are free to be. That is the freedom of having an affair. There is some thrill in it to be sure. Because more than anything, cheating is a chance for you to do what feels good rather than what feels compulsory.

That doesn't mean it's good for you. Or that I recommend it. I don't give a damn what you do. I am simply providing my explanation of why men cheat. It's what they are built for. It is a function of the mathematics of their reproductive function. It is the by-product of longer life spans, more-deadening careers, too much work. And it is the consequence of an instinctive refusal to give up one's own need entirely for the flawed and antiquated apparatus of marriage.
