Cape May Ferry to Lewes–September 8, 2017

Today’s weather was a perfect 10!  Five of us, Judy, Sheri, Lorraine, Sheila, and myself, arrived on time at the Cape May Ferry Terminal for the 9:30 AM sailing into Lewes!  The sky was as blue as can be with temperatures in the 70’s while we made our way across Delaware Bay on smooth seas. 

Arrived at the terminal at 11 and hopped a shuttle into the little town of Lewes.  We went straight to Gilligan’s which is located on the water in the same place as the last time we were there.  Totally rebuilt!

Crabcakes still some of the best!

Of course, we had to visit the ice cream shop after stopping in some of the shops!  

Happy Hatters Wine Tasting–Balic Winery July 20, 2017

We all enjoyed our wine tasting today at the Balic Winery.  Thanks go to Elaine W and Carol W for coordinating.  Pictured below you can see that some of us bought a few bottles home!

After our tasting, we went for lunch at Mama Maria’s trattoria which is owned by the sister of the Balic Winery owner.  The food and service was excellent.  Someone (I won’t mention names) misbehaved.

Here we are!

Renewal Luncheon Atlantic City Country Club–June 30, 2017

Well, another year has come and gone and the Happy Hatters are still going strong.  Our first luncheon at the Atlantic City Country Club was impressive.  The room was perfect for us and the view of the Golf Course and Atlantic City skyline was beautiful.  The cost was basically the same as the Rams Head and from the feedback that I received, the ladies seem to have preferred ACCC. 

This year we celebrated 11 years as The Happy Hatters of Smithville!  In those 11 years, we enjoyed more activities than I can count.   During our luncheon we viewed a slide show of the many wonderful events that we participated in. 

We also planned our next season…….

Film Noir Exhibit–Ocean City Arts Center–Flander’s Hotel June 20,2017

Thanks Sheri for organizing our trip to Ocean City.  The exhibit was interesting and lunch at the Flander’s Hotel was terrific.  We even got some shopping in at the hotel gift shop.
