Went to a wedding last night right on the Chesapeake Bay at Chesapeake Bay
Resort and Spa. Nice! This morning we had breakfast at the restaurant next
door and they had a fantastic buffet. Though the waitress was surprised
when I told her to take my plate silverware and all after one plateful.
That's the problem with buffets -- too easy to stuff yourself. No worries
here, though. We partied it up so hard last night that most of us were very
hung-over this morning. LOL Everyone was walking in for breakfast with
swollen eyes and looking just like I felt. Damned groom buying everyone
Jager Bomb shooters. The kind with Red Bull. Whoa. lol
