Day 1 in the Morning: Main Street

This morning Isaac woke up at his usual 6:30 am. We took a shower and headed for breakfast - an all you can eat buffet that is free with a voucher from the hotel. The buffet consisted of 22 different hot and cold breakfast foods! It was fabulous! The restaurant was quaint and filled with families all commenting on my little man. One woman stopped and said, "Oh my goodness! He's so precious - he looks like a model baby in a magazine!" To which Isaac flashed a beautiful smile. I'm so proud. Isaac had pancakes and apple juice while mamma enjoyed bacon, biscuits and gravy, and coffee. After breakfast, we decided to head downtown to main street. We parked the car at a town plaza (free parking) and Isaac rode in his stoller very happily. There were families riding bikes, walking, and jogging. Everyone we passed gave us a smile and nod or a "good morning." Town was so quite, traffic moved slowly, and seriously everyone just seemed happy to be alive.







Main Street was lined with art galleries, quaint shops, a movie theater, cafes, ice cream parlors, bakeries, a vietnamise restaurant, bed and breakfasts, and there were one or two tourist shops (where Isaac and I bought T-shirts).



There was a town center park with pavillions, picnic tables, a grassy yard, wifi, and brick sidewalks overlooking the bay. There was also a farmer's market today where local vendors sold artisan breads, organic produce, plants, and fresh seafood. All that organic made me think of Aunt Chrissy and Granny.








There was a cute fire department too, Aunt Lisa.







We didn't go into all the places we want, but the stroller was a little too cumbersome with all the breakables. Later, we'll return with the carrier. We had such a nice time. It's a little overcast today, so I'm not sure if we will go to Assateague Island today or not - there is a fee, so I'd like to make an entire day out of that trip. Who knows? After our nap it may brighten up.
