Watched the sunrise on the ocean today from our 8th floor balcony. This is a beautiful hotel. It's brand new and has the Hyatt quality. I ordered a Southwest omelet for breakfast which was yummy except it had too much salsa for breakfast. Mary and John joined us. We made plans for going over to the Back Bay Wildlife refuge which was 18 miles south of here. Mary and John came with us in our new Prius. The center was great with boardwalks in the marsh and sea grasses that were over 8 feet tall. It was cold but the brush sheltered us from the wind a little. We saw the first of the migrating Swans. there were about 70 of them. The ranger lady said that the peak is 1000 swans that migrate from Canada and spend the winter on the VA and NC coast. We saw a nice variety of other birds including Herons and some small warblers in the grasses. The swans were Tundra Swans which i found on iBird. We had a nice lunch at Panera bread on the way back. i had a half sandwich which was a turkey cranberry that was yummy. The others got soup and half a sandwich, I skipped the soup. We got back in time to get ready for the wedding. First shuttle was at 3:20 to the art museum. The wedding ceremony of Michael and Sasha was lovely. We had some Family photos afterward then on to the reception. A little Pinot Noir with the hand passed hors d'oeuvres hit the spot. She crab soup in little glass vials was outstanding. The band was a rock band with 3 guitars and drums but they were very good. We did quite a bit of dancing with much swing, some rumba and a foxtrot and Texas two step. Dinner was filet mignon with rice and asparagus. The wedding cake was dessert with blackberries, blueberries and strawberries. A perfect cake. We did quite a bit of dancing including hold and sway then left on the shuttle at 9:30. What a nice wedding. |
