Weekend Recap

Welp, cue the "Did you hear we're getting out early?" rumors.  It's currently snowing pretty hard, and we're due to get anywhere from 3 to 873456 inches, according to all of the various forecasts.  Therefore, I will alternate staring at ABC 27's Twitter feed and the window, for the duration of the day.

We had such a great weekend in Delaware - the weather was nice (for January), we ate some delicious food, drank some fantastic beers, and hung out at a couple of really cool bars/restaurants.  We arrived earlier than anticipated, and thankfully were able to check-in early into the Blue Water House, our first B&B stop in Lewes, DE.  This place was SO. FREAKING. COOL.  Such an eclectic blend of decorations, without screaming tackiness. 

This guy greeted us upon entry into the house.

There were a lot of great "word signs" throughout the whole place, our favorite of which read: "The best things in life are not things."  I smell a Pinterest craft coming our way.

After spending a few minutes looking around and settling into our room, we decided to head down to Rehoboth and go for a drink at the Purple Parrot, the establishment where we celebrated our engagement back in June of 2012.  We ordered a few Sam Adamses (is that the correct plural?) and some spinach, artichoke, and crap dip, which was quite tasty and held us over until dinner.

Jerry's Seafood was our dinner destination, as we ate there a few years ago and remembered it being amazing.  It was good, it didn't blow us out of the water, but it was definitely decent.  I ordered a cup of the cream of crab soup for an appetizer, and that was really good - but the tuna I ordered for dinner was only okay.  Part of the reason was because I thought I was ordering something totally different than what came out, but whatevs.

I spent most of Sunday in a nervous panic due to the impending AFC Championship game that was set to start at 3 PM.  We found ourselves at The Greene Turtle for kickoff, with a pretty cool view of the ocean in the backdrop.  Thankfully the majority of the clientele was also rooting for the Broncos, so that made for a very enjoyable experience as opposed to the alternative.

We headed home pretty early yesterday morning after breakfast at our second B&B stay, the Rehoboth Guest House.  This place was very nice, but not quite as "comfy" as the BWH.  The homemade, from-scratch cinnamon rolls that Steve made for us were one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten, however, and I would probably go back solely for one of those!

We were home by noon, and it was nice to relax at home for once.  I made this and also this and they were both delicious - below is a shot of the baked oatmeal I can't get the stupid picture to load; the French onion soup wasn't quite as pretty, since I don't have any ovenproof bowls (how this is possible, I have no clue). 

Hopefully I'll be on my way back home in a few hours...time to go check the window.
