Virginia’s Eastern Shore Salutes Our Troops
My wife and I were guests of Onancock as part of the Eastern Shores Salute to the Troops. We stayed at the Inn & Garden Café. Paul and Sandra took care of every detail and were very hospitable. There was a bouquet in the room for us to take home in red, white and blue blooms. The room was very quaint and cheery. Dinner was delicious. Starting w/ a cheese and olive bread, Paul's homemade mixed nuts, chips and salsa. The French onion soup was scrumptious, the salad was sweet and tart, a wonderful mix of flavors. The main course was extravagant w/ loaded baked potatoes and surf and turf. The key lime pie was simply sinful.
Sandra had arranged tickets for us to go to the theater for the Intl. Film Fest. You could tell the owners were very passionate about keeping the theater in the town. There was an introduction to the film and a very welcoming atmosphere. It was a full house on a Thursday night, It seemed like the whole town must have come out.
Back at the Inn there were fresh baked cookies in the lobby and we had a very peaceful nights sleep. Breakfast was just as outstanding as dinner. It started w/ fresh pastry that we could smell baking in the morning. A blueberry bread and a cherry almond cream cheese pastry that was absolutely delightful, and a fruit cup w/ 6 or 7 different types of fruits and Sandra's lime syrup. There were a lot of choices on the breakfast menu, my wife had Sandra's special Italian omelet and I had Pauls benedict w/ salmon and shrimp. This was the most delectable breakfast I've ever had.
We had been contacted earlier in the week by Bill and Mary of Eastern Shore Kayaks and asked if we would like to go on a kayak tour of the Onancock river. We saw parts of the town and got the history back to the 1600s. We saw snowy egrets, great blue herons, osprey, and a bald eagle flew right in front of us. An outstanding way to spend a few hours on the eastern shore.
