De'Tours in Elizabeth City
When my family visited us in August 2009, I wanted to treat them to something special that would give them a little flavor of the history of Elizabeth City. I saw De'Tours online and decided to give it a try. Being new to the Hertford, NC area, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was hopeful it would be a pleasant experience for all the different age groups--teens through senior citizens. When Bonnie greeted us, she made us feel like we were long-time friends stopping by for a visit. As you walk into her home, you feel as if you are transformed back in time. Stepping into the dining room, you will be impressed by the beautifully-set table--many of the pieces inherited from Bonnie's family. Once seated and given a little history, the goodies arrive on beautifully- displayed trays. All are freshly made, unique, and delicious! Just a note--our teens like many others--are picky eaters. Recognizing that, Bonnie gratiously offered to make special peanut butter sandwiches just for them, which she cut into pretty rounds. All were happy. After the tea, you will have a tour and history lesson. Enjoy!
