The Walker's Waterfront Bed and Breakfast, Norfolk, Virginia

This summer, take a step back in time. Steal away from the madding throngs for a lazy afternoon picnic. For a few hours, place yourselves in the midst of James Tissot's 1876 painting, "The Picnic". Your host will prepare a picture-perfect Edwardian repast to enjoy in the shade of a favorite tree or on a secluded dune at the beach - even cushions for your comfort, perhaps while reading from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam!
