St. Micheals

This Saturday we had some yucky weather thanks to Tropical Storm Andrea but we were not going to let that stop us from having a fun day. Doug and I got up and headed out early to make the most of our one day a week together. We decided to go to St. Michaels, MD and make a few stops on the way. Since we had to go over the Bay Bridge and pay the toll, we figured we would make the most of the day and go to as many places as we could. Stop #1: the outlets. :) Hey, we rarely go and it was right there off the route. I forced Doug to buy some shirts so he would have some nice ones to wear at the beach. We still have to find him some swim trunks. I am betting we buy something last minute in FL...

Stop #2 was Easton, MD. We more or less drove through the city but we did stop at Kohl's. It was still raining when we left there and got to St. Michaels (Stop #3). A friend of Doug's recommended a restaurant right on the water, The Crab Claw. Our plan was to eat outside on the docks but the weather forced us inside. The food was good but we would like to go back for dinner on a prettier day so we could sit outside and really enjoy the view. We decided to wait out the rain driving around the peninsula and site seeing. There were many large houses and cute inns right along the water. Doug and I decided next time we came back we should get on a boat so we could get a better view of the area.

Finally it stopped raining so we headed back into the city to walk around the downtown area. There were a lot of cute little shops to keep us occupied for a little while. After that we grabbed some ice cream and plopped down on a bench to people watch. Once our bellies were full we decided to head back home. There was only one stop left to make, find Yum Yum sauce. For those on Facebook, you saw my devastating status update about me dropping my Yum Yum sauce. (For those not on Facebook, Doug and I went to eat hibachi, I got a HUGE to go cup of Yum Yum sauce to eat with my leftovers, and I dropped it in the parking lot all over the ground and our car. Sad, I know.) What is hibachi without Yum Yum sauce so we had to find some. I figured if Wegmans didn't have it, no one close by would. This was my first trip there and my mind was blown! It was huge! I was hooked after I saw the bakery and produce section. Unfortunately, Doug banned me from going without him because he knows I would spend every dollar we had in there. :) But they did have the Yum Yum sauce and cheesecake (he owed me from giving me the stomach virus)! And I just remembered I forgot to look for cornbread mix. Guess that means I will have to make another trip... :)
