And it sits on what I think is still the Rappahannock River
or one of the many inland bays of the Chesapeake Bay.
My son in law had eaten here before.
But – where ever it is – I want to go back
As I had the best AHI TUNA I have ever eaten!
AHI TUNA
It must of been the seasoning – and it was done just right!
We had gone off the resort of The Tides –
because the day we arrived – their dining room was closed.
And Marcus and Tammy had been here before.
Not many people at all – we almost had the whole outside to ourselves!
And you could not sit inside.
SHRIMP & LOBSTER ROLL!
The little ones all had the shrimp and lobster roll along with Sherry.
She said it was very good!
Tammy and Marcus had the oysters as a appetizer
Now – I have never had a feeling to eat oysters
and I think that goes way back to my father
every Friday night – he had oyster soup!
And it just did not look good to me!
Bode almost made it
Bode wanted to try one –
but at the last moment gave it up to Taylor
and she ate it and gave it a THUMBS UP!
The view from our table
I think there were three other people there
but they also were doing a good take out business.
You could walk over and look into the kitchen from three sides.
And two ladies were busy cooking in there!
I recommend this place!

I would imagine this being a very busy place
if it were not for the pandemic
Marcus and Tammy said when they were there last year
it was packed.
I hope it stays – I most likely will never get back there
GIGI Maddy Sarah Ella Cassidy Taylor GIGI WHERE IT ALL STARTED Sherry’s mother
We have always been family – getting together –
That comes from the close bond Sherry had with her parents.
Even though she left to go to college
and never moving back home
she always made it a point and time to go back.

And she passed that thought onto her daughters – my step daughters
and almost 39 years later – they have passed it onto their children.

The first sun rise of a new day!Our room King bedElla and Sarah’s roomOur bathroom we shared with the grand kids!
We were on the bottom floor – no climbing stairs with bags!
A small kitchen and game room on this floor and one other master bedroomThis floor went right out to the pool and bar!The pool was large with the deep part right in the middle!
Our floor was so that we could walk right out to the pool or beach.
We also were a five minute slow walk to the stores
and places to eat!
The beach looking North toward Va. BeachThe beach looking South toward N.C.
There were hardly any people at where we were at.
The local beach was sevral blocks North of us-
And even there – people set up 15 to 20 feet from each other.
I saw a few masks but the breeze and open air
we were and felt safe.
The nearest people set up to us!
This for the time being – will be our vacation life
as we continue into the pandemic.
Selecting spots that are quiet – social distance
and friends and family who also took safe measures before coming.
