I was up and at it early this morning. Walter & I headed out around 6:30 a.m. this morning to stop by Kohl's for a couple of their early bird specials. I was able to get almost half of my Christmas shopping done in about 30 minutes. I just love being able to run in get what I want and get out in record time. Speed shopping!
Afterwards we hit the road for Urbanna, and a good thing too! When we arrived we were able to get decent parking near the bridge.
We did the walk through the entire town. Sampled an oyster burger, crab cake sandwiches, oyster fritters (these were fabulous!), and she-crab soup. There was one vendor selling old-fashioned soda, we purchased tin mugs and were able to refill all day for one price. There was plenty of music to listen to as well, I counted 6 bands in various areas of town - later I counted 12 in the program that were playing at different times during the day.
We went down to the harbour area and were able to climb aboard the replica of the Godspeed, which was up from Jamestown for the event. It was really neat to see. Walter was a bit disappointed when he found out that it is powered by twin diesel engines. Oh well, at least it looks good.
We stopped in just about every booth that was out. One had some really nice outdoor rockers made of white oak. They were beautiful. The man even had his own rocker there that has been outdoors for 18 years - and it still looked great! One of the local shops was selling fudge - of course that was something that we had to pick up. Walter even had chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick. An interesting looking concoction, but he says it was delicious.
Around 12:30 p.m, the effects of way too many oysters and various other forms of seafood hit and I was pretty sure that Walter was going to slip into an oyster coma and sleep for a couple of days. So we headed on back home to put our feet up and be really, really Lazy for the rest of the afternoon. As we crossed the bridge out of town and up to the car - the line of cars that were coming into town stretched back out of town about 1/2 mile or more. It was unreal. I'm glad we were able to get out without any trouble.
Ya'll don't forget to set the clocks back an hour this evening, or you'll miss that extra hour of sleep.
