I'm pretty much past the point of being able to go fast on the boat. The bumps aren't real good for baby boy or myself, but fortunately, the ride from our marina to Occoquan is all in a "No Wake" zone, which means a nice slow stroll down the river. Now that I can manage!
We packed up a few snacks and some sparkling water and enjoyed a mini-happy hour on the boat. We played some Nat King Cole and couldn't help be thankful as we rode under interstate 95, jam packed with folks still trying to make their way south.
Occoquan is really a cute little town, and while we used to visit it more often when Andy's folks lived nearby, we haven't really been in several years. After a little bit of a debate, neither of us were being very decisive, we found ourselves at Madigan's (previously the C&C Seafood Company). The menu looked pretty good and the setting on the water was even better (that and we got to keep an eye on Wally).
Our meals were mediocre, but the atmosphere was great and we even got to witness some kids eating out before Prom. The girls looked, for the most part, appropriately dressed and the boys looked awkward and uncomfortable in their tuxes, but all were happy just the same.
After dinner we stopped by an ice cream parlor for a scoop (or two)! Nothing better than mint chocolate chip (the green kind of course) and a night time boat ride to start the weekend off right!
Baby boy must have also enjoyed himself as he was rather active that night, and in fact Andy fell asleep with his hand and head on my stomach, too cute! :)
