Mary Poppins >>> Snappers Restaurant

8/3/2010

In coincidence with our anniversary, we took Margaret to DC to spend the night and to see Mary Poppins at the Kennedy Center. We stayed at the Doubletree on New Hampshire Ave NW in DC. Dinner was at the Roof Terrace Restaurant in the Kennedy Center.

We took Buddy to the Kennel and then left Margaret’s at 1145. We stopped in Cambridge at Snappers Restaurant for lunch. We checked into the Doubletree Hotel on New Hampshire NW at about 1600. We went to the Roof Terrace Restaurant and Bar on the south end of the building for dinner. The performance of Mary Poppins was excellent. Wednesday morning, the GPS took us through downtown Washington. We stopped at Denny's for brunch and had Margaret at her house by 1330.

We had a little difficulty getting to Snappers. From US 50, it's a left on Maryland Ave and across a small bridge to the older section of Cambridge. The bridge was closed for repairs. We asked a couple of local fellas and they directed us on an end around to bypass the little bridge and we were successful. We had a little table just inside the door of a fairly empty dining room. Snappers is on the water and is accessible to the Chesapeake, so there is usually a lot of boat traffic. We all three started with a cup of their Cream of Crab Soup (5.95) which was very good. The restaurant is next door to Clayton's Seafood Wholesaler, so the crab should be fresh. Lyd and Margaret each had the Fried Crab Cake Sandwich (9.95) and pronounced it excellent. I had a five-cheese burger (8.95) and it was good, too. After lunch we were back on the road and headed for the Doubletree Hotel.
