I resurrected this blog with the intent to write most days about something. Things have been very busy the last week or so. The good news is that my husband found a new job and starts work next week. We have vacation plans at the end of the summer to rent a house in North Carolina with some friends of ours, but had no other travel plans. We decided to take a trip to the beach for a few days before my husband starts his job.
It was a good trip. We went during the week and left just as Memorial Day weekend crowds were expected to roll in. We stayed at the Hilton on 32nd street so we could have access to a great kid's pool as well as a nice indoor pool, in case the weather refused to cooperate. Fortunately the weather was great; we got in plenty of time at the beach and the pools. Also Paul purchased a bike rack for my car so we could bring our bikes down with us. I think this was my favorite part. There are no restrictions for bikes on the boardwalk prior to Memorial Day so we could ride anytime of the day.
Riding was a good way to work off the food. I found it hard to stick to my usual eating rules. When I was a kid, and later when Paul I and would take Gigi to the beach, The Captain's Table at the Santa Maria was a must for breakfast. They had a dish called Eggs Chesapeake which consisted of an English muffin topped with poached eggs, jumbo lump crab meat and hollandaise sauce. So yummy! Well, they closed a few years ago and demolished the whole property. This year when we arrived we found that they built a new Marriott Courtyard there and that the Captain's Table was back! And so was my favorite breakfast dish (aside from Huevos Rancheros at Chilly Billy's In St. John USVI).
Other favorite stops included lunch at Fager's Island, the rides at Trumpers and dinner at Mackey's where you can eat on the beach (bayside).
