GREAT motorcycle trip today out to Urbanna, VA to the Urbanna Oyster Festival (http://www.urbannaoysterfestival.com/) with wife Libby and friends, Johnny and Pam!! Left this morning around 9:30 with the temps in the 40s but clear blue sunny skies!! Chilly ride, but well worth it. Very smooth ride into Urbanna with no traffic and a great place to park in a CORN FIELD!! At least we had the whole place to ourselves!! (When we came back in the afternoon the entire field was filled with cars and other motorcycles beside us!)


We had about a quarter mile walk into town with great scenic views of the harbor along the way!!


 A nice lady took our picture on the bridge by the harbor (funny, I didn't know Johnny was taller than me! He will do anything to get one up on you!!).

Anyway, on to the downtown festival for some great seafood, entertainment, parades, etc.!! Libby and I both had a cup of delicious crab bisque!! It was very good.


Next was the oyster fritter sandwich. It was HUGE and Libby and I split one. This was a seafood lovers paradise for sure!!

The "highlight" sandwich was Johnny's soft shell crab sandwich. As usual, he "sweet talked" the lady making the sandwiches and ask her to make him a "special" one. Well she did. She put FOUR soft shell crabs on his sandwich. Needless to say, Johnny was a very happy man with that!! (Of course, what is funny is that he doesn't look happy in this photo until he took the first bite (then it was "love at first bite" and he was very happy with a great big smile right after this photo was taken!!)


Libby and I couldn't resist the homemade cinnamon rolls with coffee. Don't these look good (they were even better than they looked!!)

We also had some great entertainment from a blue grass band while we ate.

They even had quilts which Libby loved to see and talk to the ladies who made them.

Lots of beautiful old houses in downtown Urbanna that we walked by.

The walk back out of town to our motorcycles was very nice with beautiful views of the water.

On our way back, we couldn't pass up Digg's Seafood in West Point for one of the great Crab Muffins!!

Pam was so excited to get to stop at Digg's Seafood!!

For those of you that have not experienced a Digg's Seafood Crab Muffin here is a picture. It is just as good as the picture makes it look (maybe even better!!)

We had a nice relaxing time outside Digg's finishing off our muffins and a couple of Deviled Crabs too before we made the return trip back home!! WOW, are we ever stuffed, but it was so good!!

Just another GREAT day of motorcycle riding with great friends and my wife. A great destination in Urbanna and West Point. I think we have found another (at least) annual trip!! We got back home around 6 pm
