I love the water, but unfortunately I can't swim . I could have sat there all day and watched this scenery!
Maybe the server/greeter could read my mind because she gave us a great table by the window.
I'm usually disappointed if I eat at a seafood place. As someone who doesn't like seafood I find that most of the time if they are good at cooking the seafood they are usually not good at cooking anything else.
I can happily say that this place was an exception.
We really enjoyed our food!!
I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes (my first time tasting them).
My mom and cousin BABS ordered the salmon.
My cousin Pat ordered a fish sandwich and chips with a side of cole slaw.
I had a pork sandwich! Even when he brought it to the table I wasn't prepared for the size of the sandwich or the fact that it would be so good. You could smell the baconess (yes, I know that is not a word but I don't know how else to describe it lol) when the server brought it to the table! It was very GOOD!
The whole crew together!!
After dinner we were already for our hotel room and looking forward to settling in for the night before exploring some more the next day!
An ambulance and fire truck passed us on the highway half way to our hotel.
When we finally arrived to check in we were informed (actually we learned from listening to others conversation) that the hotel had no power. Apparently there had been an accident near by that had caused a power issue. Keep in mine the last few days here in VA have been in the 100s. We were able to cancel our reservations (believe me four women in a small room with no air would not have been pretty and we had no guarantee from the staff when their status would change).
I was certain we could find another hotel either near by my home or as close as possible.
That did not happen! Even with my girls (and hubby) along with my mom and I searching on our phones we could not find any hotel with vacancies! For the first time I understood what Mary and Joseph felt like when they could not find a room at the inn!! And imagine we were not even offered a stable!! Lol
In all my years of traveling I had never seen no availability for rooms at any hotels!!! We tried at least 6 cities within our area and checked as far as Williamsburg Va and got nothing! My husband called at least 6 hotels himself...again nothing!! I'm not sure what was going on but for some reason we were not meant to stay away from home that weekend.
The last picture I took on my way home was of the sun setting over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Needless to say as much fun as we had the end of the day was kind of a let down. But this morning I tried to see the good in the day and the fact that I got to spend time with my family made up for the trip ending so abruptly (well sort of lol). We are already planning for our next get together!!
