Day 5, Chapter 30Dinner by the Seaside
And I'll have a Caesar. No dressing. And one of those homemade cookies, the warm chocolate chip. No nuts. And a little slice of cheesecake. Uh, crème brulee, and, um, hot fudge sundae, extra hot fudge.

We were hungry and looking forward to all the seafood we could eat. I had talked the buffet up quite a bit; and, thankfully, it didnt disappoint! If it comes from the ocean, you can bet well eat it.
First, though, gettin artsy with umbrellas .
I wondered what Gabriel would think because hes not really a buffet kinda guy, but then Cape May isnt your usual buffet. Long story, short, we all loved it Brianna even ventured away from her usual cheese pizza and tried several new things. She liked crab, but the clam chowder, not so much. She surprised all of us by having seconds of the green beans and cornbread, of all things! My favorite dessert was the key lime tart, but the flan was really good, too. Earl named this as his favorite meal of the trip, and it made my top five.
Bee, Mom, Gabriel, and I drew on the paper tablecloth with crayons, and I wish there was a way we could have kept it, butter smears and all! Im still smacking myself upside my own head because it never even occurred to me to take a picture of it.
Doh!
At one point, I over-buttered my cornbread, and the butter dripped onto my fingers. What do you do when you have butter on your fingers? You lick it off, of course, which I did, prompting Gabriel to say to Brianna, And thats why you should always wash your hands before you eat.
Hardy har har har.
It was also during this dinner that we realized that Bee had developed a full-fledged crush on Gabriel.
Hmmm, let me back track for a second.
Brianna has more nicknames than one kid needs, most notably Bee, Bri, and Beezer, but also Sugar Lump, Baby Girl, and Bri-ANNNNA. The first day of our trip Gabriel started calling her Breezy, and she took a real liking to it, going so far as to introduce herself to new people that way. She wanted to sit by him on the monorail or bus and at restaurants. She walked next to him at every opportunity, completely shunning the rest of us. She copped a tude with everyone else but was a perfect angel when it came to Gabriel. (Little did she know that that made him our secret weapon!)
But I didnt realize just how smitten she was until our Cape May dinner. She was OK with him talking to Nanny or her mom and dad, but let him say something to me; and shed interrupt, bringing his attention back to her. She told him jokes, showed him her drawings, asked him to go to the buffet with her, and regaled him with tales of school, girl scouts, and her best friend, Destiny. (I know way too much about Destiny!) It was adorable, but Im glad she didnt notice all the grins and winks going on over her head!
On the way out we stopped by the Marketplace, for Oreo Bon Bons; but, unfortunately, they didnt have any. Evidently, they go pretty fast. I was bummed. Gabriel has since tried to make them at home with a recipe from the Internet, but his just arent quite the same as Disneys. Im sure hell keep trying until he perfects them, so I guess Ill have to keep sampling them. The things I do for love!

On the walk over, we talked about going back to DHS to see the Osborne Lights, but when we asked Bee if she wanted to go, she said no. She was itchy again and just wanted to go back to the room. She was looking a little puny, so Earl and Lenny got a cab back to POR while the rest of us went to DHS.
(I learned the next day that Earl went to Walgreens and got some pediatric Benadryl and Aveeno oatmeal bath stuff. Bee went to sleep early, and the next morning the rash had cleared up. It came back later, but never as bad as it was this day. From what weve learned, it was most likely an allergic reaction, probably to the laundry detergent Disney uses.)
The BC/YC are so beautiful I think its my favorite resort area in all of Disney!
We took the boat to DHS, and as we passed the Dolphin/Swan area, we noticed that the palm trees lining the walkway were all lit up. It was really beautiful! I didnt get any photos, and I didnt know what it was; so I looked it up later and found out that it was a new holiday light show. Just another Christmas surprise from Disney!
