The Getaway

For Columbus Day, Trent found a perfect bed and breakfast for a long weekend getaway.  Trent looked at many, many bed and breakfast and then finally decided on going to the a small town of Cape Haywood on Virginia's Chesapeake Bay.  When we arrived at the Inn at Tabbs Creek, the inn keepers held a wine and cheese hour for all the guests to mingle.  We chose lemonade and some amazing crab dip that was made from the crabs found on the dock earlier that week.

The inn keepers recommended a Thai restaurant about 20 minutes away.  If you are ever anywhere near the town of Gloucester, VA you must try Bangkok Noi.  It was the best Thai food I have ever tasted.  The panang curry had a wonderful depth of flavor that beats all panang curries hands down.  Go. 

The inn was fantastic and breakfasts consisted of chili spiced potatoes, strawberry french toast, eggs benedict, and so much yummy fruit.  The inn has their own large garden that use in their breakfast each day.

The front porch was a perfect place to read a book.

The inn also had a canoe and bicylces that we could use during our stay.  We took advantage of both.  It was wonderful to canoe into the many outlets of the bay.  Trent was in an exploratory mood and he took us to find many interesting things out in the water.  We came across something that included two white poles sticking out of the water.  I am sure they were markers but Trent nicknamed it the sea monster.  It freaked me out a little.  Then later on in row we came across an actual boat wreck that must have been there for some time.
