We Got Plenty of Muffin
It's not just Cheerios at the Wood Duck Inn on Tilghman Island, one of several area B& Bs where breakfast is a big deal.

Details: The inn is at 2333 N. James Madison Hwy. in Locust Dale, approximately 80 miles from Washington. 800-385-4936, http:/
3. ARTIST'S INN AND GALLERY, TERRE HILL, PA.
The breakfast: Jan Garrabrandt tries to sneak vegetables into some of her dishes, for the health of her guests. Her baked acorn squash with maple syrup and cream usually wows them. Still, she has observed, "usually the wives eat most of the vegetables and the husbands just eat the dessert." The menu includes homemade scones and pastries and chilled peach soup, grilled mangoes with brown sugar and coconut, among other dishes. For the main course, Garrabrandt favors crepes. Dessert ranges from chocolate cake to ginger pumpkin mousse in a martini glass.
The place: Sit on the porch of this 150-year-old Federalist-style home in Pennsylvania Dutch country, and you may see more Amish buggies than cars. Not far from Lancaster, Pa., the B&B has three rooms and a cottage.
Details: The inn is at 117 E. Main St. in Terre Hill, about 140 miles from Washington. 888-999-4479, http:/
4. PENINSULA HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS
The breakfast: Crystal glasses and silver cutlery don't stay hidden in hutches; the good stuff gets set on the breakfast table every morning. The sunny yellow dining room makes for a cheery meal, especially with dishes with such colorful names as "drunken crab strata" and "stout and gouda pancakes."
The place: The three rooms are filled with antiques; walls painted in warm colors match the gardens. Rates include much-coveted parking in downtown Annapolis.
Details: The inn is at 11 Chester Ave. in Annapolis, approximately 35 miles from Washington. 410-267-8796, http:/
5. WOOLVERTON INN, STOCKTON, N.J.
The breakfast: A 425-degree oven doesn't cut it in the summer, so one of the house specialties is reserved for the winter, when that kind of heat can be tolerated. Guests are then treated to an entree called "Dutch babies" -- puffy pancakes that are as light as crepes and served with sauteed apples and pears. Accompaniments could include piña colada scones and grilled pineapple, accompanied by a giant mug of hazelnut hot chocolate with homemade marshmallows. And if you want to avoid the bed-head look at the dining table, have breakfast delivered to your room.
The place: The three-story, stone country estate house sits on 10 secluded acres and is surrounded by 300 acres of protected forests and farmland. Nearby New Hope, Pa., and Lambertville, N.J., are ideal for antiques lovers.
Details: The inn is on Woolverton Road in Stockton, N.J., approximately 175 miles from Washington. 888-264-6648, http:/
