Waterfront Paradise

Joel and I were lucky enough to be able to get away for 24 hours to celebrate our 5th anniversary (A huge thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Thompson for crowd control while we were gone).  We headed down to the Chesapeake Bay.  We stayed at an adorable 1800s Bed and Breakfast Inn outside of St. Micheal's, Maryland. 

  This is the view from the porch off of our room:

 We actually stayed in the annex next to the main house.

There was no TV or Wi-fi.  It was perfect for us to just get away and unwind.  First thing we did: sat on the dock and watched the sunset.  The unseasonably warm weather was the cherry on top of an already fabulous evening. 

So relaxing......There goes the sun:

Once the sun was long gone, we headed to town.  Since it was off-season the entire town was pretty much shut down by 5pm, so there wasn't much in way of window shopping, but that's alright.  We headed to dinner at a really cool, local restaurant.   We don't eat a whole lot of seafood, but when staying at the Bay how can you NOT branch out?!  We had crab cakes and rock fish and Joel also tried ceviche (made with salmon) for the first time.  The highlight of the meal was actually the orzo sitting in a basil remoulaude.  Yum!!

 The view is just as nice in the morning.  :)

The best part of the trip? (Besides spending time together alone- obviously):  Waking up at 7am, cuddling for a couple minutes and then rolling over and going back to bed until 8am.  With a son that regularly gets up by 6am, it was sheer decadence.  Yay for sleeping in!
