Baby-moon at the Bay

This past weekend Ryan and I went to Chesapeake Beach in MD.  We had found a Living Social for an overnight at Chesapeake Beach Resort with a dinner gift certificate, a spa voucher and a bottle of wine.  We were very lucky to be able to grab a Saturday night before the baby comes.

We both took off Friday and spent the day resting at home and laying in the sun at Meridian Hill Park before packing for the bay.  After picking up the car at DCA on Saturday we took the hour drive to Chesapeake Beach and checked in for our spa appointments.  After a massage (for Ryan) and a pedi (for me) we went up to our Junior Suite with a beautiful view of the bay and put our stuff down before going for a walk on the boardwalk.  Chesapeake Beach used to be a weekend resort town for the rich from DC and Baltimore there was even a train that ran from the city to the water.  A long time ago there was even a huge wooden roller coaster over the water.  The city fell on hard times a while back but now it is a haven for rich politicos from the city and full of big houses and antique shops.

The resort boasts a few restaurants.  We ate at the Rod and Reel which was fine but the service was SUPER slow and we were entertained by a family altercation.  Sisters got into a fight over what kind of language they should use when talking to their mother- who was present.  There were tears and yelling and the sheriff was called and eventually the really drunk one apparently tried to get in to her car so they arrested her for drunk driving.  Between that, a wedding and a bunch of people  eating dinner before a local prom the night was exciting.

Sunday we spent lazing around the room, ordering room service and walking along the boardwalk before wandering back to DC.  It was nice to get away.
