A day at Colonial Beach Va.

Steve and I took a ride to Colonial Beach Thursday.  Overcast and little windy due to the storm coming but a nice day trip.  Lunch at High Tides restaurant on the beach.  Delicious! Steve had grouper with fries but our shared appetizer was steamed shrimp and crab soup in a tomato base.  Love the food at this place.  Great service too.
Remnants of our appetizer soup and steamed shrimp, well actually there isn't any to speak of.  Delicious!


Grouper dog

Flounder and no way did we eat all of the fries.  Delicious and not salty at all.

I just like the light fixture and the glow it casts.

Looking out, you can see the water is a little high

A good and much needed walk on the beach after lunch.

I'm not familiar with High Tides in Colonial Beach, Betsy. You have some lovely photos of your recent visit! I love the one with the ducks. We spent a day in Colonial Beach with the grands this summer on a really hot day. We all had fun. Hopefully the Potomac won't be too high with this storm.
