These are some websites that I researched.  Some places are within downtown.  Others would require transportation options—limo or van rental.  We could use limited funds set aside for afternoon tea/snacks to do an outing which requires transportation if you would prefer.  Please send feedback to my e-mail or leave a voicemail message at the contact info below.
