In-Progress Trip Report
Well, I'm trying to do an in-progress trip report. We're down here from 1/11 through 1/18, staying at the Boardwalk Villas.
Let's see here... Where to begin.... We flew out of Dulles on Saturday. We had an afternoon flight that got in around 3pm and it wasn't super crowded. Luckily, we also paid the 1/2 price for a seat for our DD (12 1/2 weeks old), so we got an entire row on one side of the isle. Much more comfortable this way. I was nervous about the flight since this was DD's first one. Not a problem though, as she only cried a short little bit as we taxied to the runway. Since we wanted her eating around take-off anyway, we had the bottle out and just pugged it into her head. Beyond this, though, the flight was fine. DD slept the whole way.
Flight landed a few minutes late, we got our luggage, picked up our rental mini-van, and headed to Boardwalk Villas. Dinner was only a short time away (and DW is very worried about getting to places on-time or early), so we skipped stopping at the grocery store for extra diapers (we had about 15 in the diaper bag) and whipes.
The 2 bedroom villa (2033 and 2035) at BWV was very nice, but the hangers were missing in the coat closet and the remote for the TV in the living room was busted. We looked over the boardwalk, just over one of the stores between the "Haberdashery" and "Good Clothes for Ladies & Gents" signs.
Dinner was at 7:30 at the Flying Fish. We all had mudslides and three of us had the cream of mushroom soup. It was wonderful. Jay, our server, noticed how much my father-in-law liked the soup, so he brought over another bowl, compliments of the house. My mother-in-law and DW had the monkfish with polenta for dinner, while f-i-l had the grouper and I had the NY strip steak with polenta in place of the potatoes. The polenta was great and the steak was good. Everyone loved their dinners. For dessert, I had the banana nepolean, DW had the chocolate bombe, and m&f-i-l shared the cherry tear thing (cannot remember the name). The cherry thing was big, but good. I was disppointed with the banana thing, but DW liked it better than her bombe. Overall, dinner there was much better than when we went 2 years ago. Jay was incredibly nice. Best of all, DD slept through the whole thing.
Afterwards, we wandered the boardwalk for a little bit and headed back to the room to try to get some sleep. We had to be up early for our breakfast at the Crystal Palace and they were expecting traffice problems with the marathon going on.
More later, the babysitter's here and we're about to head out for dinner at the Cali Grill :slurp: , then the Adventurers Club after. :sohappy:
