A Delightful Day at Onancock on Virginia's Eastern Shore.....

Saturday, January 16, 2016...

What a stellar day. Left Virginia Beach about eleven and headed to Onancock. Beautiful day. When we left it was a little nippy but later in the day the weather was fine. I picked Market Street Grill based on their menu. Pat enjoys food other than what I call American. I'm satisfied with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and collards. Yes, when it comes to food, I'm easily pleased. I just it to be served hot and well done. What can I say?

Amazingly, their menu at the restaurant has a bunch more choices. Amazing menu. The service was great as was the food. When the owner learned we'd driven up from Virginia Beach, he gave us a plate of fried mozzarella cheese. Thanks again. 

The town looks really nice and no-telling how many huge older homes there are. Looks like a nice place to live.

Day's Summary: Drove about 150 miles, nice weather, great food and service at the Market Street Grill. And, yes, plan to go back to the MSG. A nice town to wander around. 




The owner gave us these fried cheese sticks. BTW, the coffee's the best I've had in years!

Pat's wrap. Sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and...well, lots of vegetables and stuff. She said it was great. And, yes, it was huge. 

When I told our waitress, Robin, I wanted flounder she suggested the sandwich. Good suggestion. I ordered it without the bread. Plenty big. We older folks don't eat but so much. Yes, the tomatoes are out of focus.


A nicely decorated restaurant.






















This snap taken just after I finished a high-speed run through eighty miles of narrow, rutted roads, through a huge forest. You folks don't believe that, do you? OK, it was a wayside stop along highway 13. Yes, a few picnic tables......

Mini-Trip to Parksley on Virginia's Eastern Shore.....

Saturday, January 3, 2016. Temperatues in the 40s, clear blue sky with a slight breeze. Parksley is about 80 miles north of Virginia Beach, a few miles west of Highway 13. 


Note: The photos are not in any order and I've decided to post truly crappy ones as a reminder to myself to work harder on my photography.

How was the day? Terrific, weather was fine though a little nippy. Wouldn't mind visiting again when the weather's a little warmer. Also, would like to tour the railroad museum. Total miles, about 180. 












Don Valerio's Mexican Restaurant. This one is a few miles north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on Highway 13. There is another restaurant in Onley, about 60 miles north.










Many years ago. A day of celebration.
