Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina

No excuses. It's been a very long time. I'm trying to catch up!

After I returned from Geneva on that Saturday we decided to get away and spend the night at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina. I had earned a free night at any Hyatt and we were planning to just stay in downtown DC but my great, brilliant friend Bec's told me about this fantastic place on the Chesapeake Bay. It is a little less than 2 hours away and about 30 minutes after driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

We had such a fantastic time. The hotel has two outdoor swimming pools, one indoor swimming pool, a game room (shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, air hockey), three restaurants, outdoor volleyball, miniature golf, pool, golf, and they played movies (G-Force). There was a small little sandy beach and swimming in the bay. The rooms were fantastic, big and so comfortable. We all had such a marvelous time.

We arrived at about 1pm on Sunday. We walked around the hotel to check everything out. We changed our clothes and went to the outdoor pool and even though it was really cold, it was sunny and we swam. The indoor pool was pretty crowded and you know how Aidan (and his Ma) feels about crowds so we totally avoided that. Leo and I got a little cold so we went up to the room and changed while Jason  and Aidan kept swimming. They enjoyed the hot tub that was connected to both the outdoor hot tub and the indoor hot tub (you could swim under the building wall!). After swimming, we played air hockey, ping pong and foosball. I'm pretty sure I beat Jason at ping pong.

Jason and I had a beer at one of the bars/restaurants and they boys had apple juice and sprite. We explored the hotel a little more and then we had a nice dinner at one of the restaurants. The boys loved it because they had a kids' buffet which had Mac n' Cheese, chicken nuggets, burgers, hot dogs, jello, salads, fruit, yogurt, chocolate milk, and lots of other stuff and cookies! After dinner, we went to our room played a little, jumped a little on the beds and then watched a movie.

The next day, I got up before everyone else and went down to the little market/cafe ordered a latte and read my trashy little US magazine in a cozy chair in the cafe area with a beautiful view of the Chesapeake Bay. I'm obsessed with the whole Sandy Bullock story but shhh...don't tell anyone. Once everyone was awake we went to the market/cafe and got some juices, bagels, donuts, muffins for breakfast. It was pouring down rain on Monday so we didn't do much else but relax and hang out around the hotel (did a puzzle in a seating area, played pool).

We had such a wonderful trip. I completely recommend it to anyone who wants a little break, wants to visit the Chesapeake Bay or wants to golf. It is especially great for families with kids. And oh yeah I didn't try the Spa but they had everything and it looked wonderful. Next time!

THANKS BECS for recommending such a great hotel!
