My husband & I took a chance on a business card we picked up while we were searching for antiques in the quaint city of Lexington, Oglethorpe County, Georgia.
We decided to come back to Lexington to search out one of my husbands ancestors,
Judge Joseph Henry Lumpkin and found the perfect way to do this was by going to an event that was to be held here in October. Legends of Oglethorpe was held on Saturday, October 28,2017, and we needed a place to stay. We decide to book the weekend at The Chicken Coop Bed 'n Breakfast, guided by the business card we picked up in the town of Lexington. Upon arriving to the "roost" we were welcomed by Sonja Armour. She & her husband Norman were great hosts and made us feel right at home. It was late when we arrived and she recommended some good restaurants. When we returned cake and ice cream, with coffee and tea awaited us. I have a gluten sensitivity and all through the stay she made sure she prepared my food to perfect standards. Sonja is a wonderful cook and excellent hostess. She truly listened to our travel excursions both mornings at breakfast and added comments on her and Norman's travels and life together. The food was so good and she even shared her mother's fried grits recipe made better, of course, with her added ingredients! You must stay with this delightful couple if you are ever in their area. You will not be disappointed!
