We arrived in Solomons around 11:30, ate lunch and Jeremy had to go straight to work. I explored the town while waiting for our room to be ready and then called the hotel shuttle to come pick me up. I spent the rest of the afternoon at the pool until Jeremy got back. Little did I know that's what I would end up doing for the next 4 days as well. Here's a cool shot I took out the plane window. Oh yeah, first time being on a plane in 7 years.
Each night we went to some great restaurants with amazing crab cakes. I can't ever have crab cakes anywhere else now. Our favorite was Stoney's. I even found out they ship their crab cakes world wide. Too bad the shipping is $100. We'll see, I might spring for them later in the year. They were that good. They just melted in your mouth, and I wasn't a big fan of crab before, obviously I hadn't had the real thing.Anyways, enough on my crab obsession. On Saturday we went to Calvert Cliffs State Park where we took a 2 mile hike to beach to search for fossils and shark's teeth. There were several kids there, it was hot, and the pool was sounding really good by the time we got to the beach so we walked around a little, took some pictures and then started the long walk back to the car.
We saw some lily pads along the way, it was pretty cool, I don't think I've ever seen them in nature before.
After cooling off in the pool a couple hours we decided to go to the Marine Museum and tour a lighthouse. It was pretty cool and we got to pet turtles and crabs and search for shark's teeth in kids area. This is a view from the lighthouse looking into the bay inlet.
Here's the lighthouse. It's called a screwpile lighthouse because they were screwed into the ground out in the middle of the ocean.
On our last night we went to Stoney's one last time and I ate as much crab as I could. Saying goodbye :(
