We know, we know. Founding Farmers again? YES. And if we could, we would have done it again, another time!
No words could convince you more than these pictures:
Justine got the Founding Farmer’s Breakfast with Sausage
Aaron got the Sausage, Mushroom and Spinach Pan Scramble
Best vacation breakfast. Period.
So, after downing that amazing food, we headed to Annapolis. About two years ago, we went to Annapolis and loved it. We love the historic buildings, the bay, the restaurants, the shops, and the dogs.
This is the historic Shiplap House, one of the oldest surviving homes in Annapolis. Annapolis is also a very dog friendly village. We walked throughout the downtown area and counted 30+ dogs. We even saw a Great Dane American Bulldog mix. It was like seeing what would happen if Moses and Sadie had puppies.
We made sure to have some more crabcakes at the Middleton Tavern before we left. Then, we were off to Ocean City. This part of the trip really gets interesting since we are now going to a place in Maryland where I had never gone before. Although I grew up for most of my life in Maryland, I never went to Ocean City or the Eastern Shore for that matter (not counting Delaware, who does anyway).
From Annapolis, you need to go over this bridge:

After holding our breath for a very long time, we ended up on the eastern MD and on our way to the beach. Nothing too eventful on this side of Maryland.
A couple hours later, we were in Ocean City. Here’s our view from the hotel:

We headed out for dinner and found a place that was always popular among my friends, Bull on the Beach. Anyway, it just wasn’t good. We rate restaurants on their food quality and care less about ambiance. I’m sure this place is popular for its creative name and pretty sweet t-shirts. Check out the menus:

The problem is that the quality of food was not worth the prices we paid. Justine had the fried shrimp and I got the crab cakes. We also got baked potatoes as sides. We will not be going back, just not worth our money.
Our disappointment subsided immediately when we found a TCBY down the street. TCBY is Justine’s favorite frozen yogurt place ever. It brings back a lot of fond memories from her childhood vacations in St. Simons, GA. Unfortunately, the TCBY in St. Simons recently closed down. This is the first one we’ve seen in a long time.
Also, it was an awesome surprise to see that TCBY has now gone to the self-serve model. Don’t worry, we will be going back. Count on it.
