Monday was a holiday and my in-room coffee maker was broken. That was OK because I was willing to pay for an overpriced cup at my least favorite chain provided that I didn't have to leave the hotel to get it. That led to a round of my least favorite game: internet research. It can be fun when one is looking for a good rack of barbecued ribs but that is later in the story.
I'm skipping ahead here. {I'm getting the chance to write on Wednesday morning.) The first thing I did was call the front desk about the coffee maker and they said that they would send a new one up with housekeeping. Those very kind people started on the ground floor that day and didn't get to us until late afternoon. The internet research for the coffee found a lot of places serving drinks like "Closed for the holiday" and my favorite, "Closed for Season."
It turns out that the best place to go for a cup of coffee in the Mid-Atlantic is Wawa. You can get your no frills coffee like I started off wanting and get your pumpkin spice latte fix for the year when you get there at last.
It was pizza and ice cream Monday night since we were both overwhelmed by the seafood. While scrolling through the channels on TV, I noticed that I was so desperate to get to vacation that I missed the start of the baseball playoffs. I missed the Phillies sweeping the Marlins and their Game One win over the Braves. Wouldn't you know that I tuned in just in time to see them blow it in Game Two? It was awful especially with the Fox announcers rooting for the Braves.
