Day 2 Family Getaway-Solomons Island

From Chesapeake beach, we head 51 minutes south to Solomons Island, voted top 15 seaside towns in Coastal Living Magazine.  Day 2 was our holiday!


 



On the very southern tip of the bay, this little strip (you can basically drive in an L---we actually drove it and said, is this it??)  Although small, it is very cute with some waterfront restaurants, a pier with restaurant/bar where we ate at Solomon's Island pier, right on the water with a beautiful view.


I had fish and chips and Patrick ordered the Rockfish.  Can't go against the specialty of the house!


Probably the best highlight (and the Lord just absolutely provided for us) was when we got an upgrade for FREE to this two bedroom King Suite with a balcony overlooking the bay of our hotel.  Total cost each night:  $99.00 with free hot breakfast and 2 drinks a night at the Manager's Reception.  Score!


The kids just went nuts in between the rooms!


But they had even more fun here in their very large pool.


There it was.  That moment when you are sipping a cold margarita, enjoying watching your children swimming and playing, and your husband is effortlessly being superdad.  Summer fun.  Wow, so grateful for these moments....


 We actually hit another beach 35 minutes south of Solomons Island, Elms Beach, but that'll be included in the next post!


More on Day 3 when I get a chance to post!

4th of July is one celebration every American look forward to every year. People are off to the beach and resorts, some go for camping. Whatever your vacation preferences are, as long as you're going to have a lot of fun, you should do it. Life is not just about working and earning money for food and education. Leave some for vacations, too, because everyone deserves a break.
