LilRed94, not sure if you saw the details on this yet but...


Hosted by the Aquia Creek Corvette Club of Stafford, VA, this event is always a nice way to kick off the spring season [B-)]

Here are the details from the ACCC site - (I have been, the past 4 or 5 years - sometimes, as many as 100+ Vettes in a row [B-)] )


Annual Captain Billy's Seafood Cruise. For those coming from the Northern Virgina area will meet at the Stafford County commuter lot on Rte. 630. This lot is just off Exit 140 along I-95, go west on Rte. 630 and the commuter lot is on the left hand side. We will meet at the commuter lot at 11:45AM and depart the lot at 12:00PM (noon).

Seems that this year, attendance was down...

About 100 or so Corvettes...

This year was by far, the worst - worse than the 2 hour steak incident

My oldest daughter & I went - we were maybe 12 or so cars back from the front - got to the front door after parking only to be greeted by a sign stating, "NO CRABS TODAY!" [#-o] [:-?]

O.K., so we didn't leave... We went inside and with most tables empty still, the hostess said, "grab a seat anywhere..." [:-B]

My daughter said, "Daddy, let's sit here," pulling out a chair - a lady barked - SOMEBODY is sitting THERE - it's TAKEN - caps emphasize the fact that some woman, 8 times my daughters age, felt the need to make it SO known that she was saving an entire table of 16 chairs [=;]

We found another place to sit - no big deal I suppose

We ordered shrimp, since the sign on the door said there were no crabs...

While we were waiting for our shrimp imperial, we noticed a plate of snow crab (legs) go by - WTH Maybe some clarification is in order - no BLUE crabs... Plenty of snow crab clusters

I will tell you this - RKreigh hit the gas at the turnoff and kept going, heading towards Rt.5 - possibly the smartest guy in the group, he missed NOTHING. [:-B]

$40.00 for a plate of 6 shrimp imperial and a kids shrimp boat - Next year, I am staying home. We will not be back again [[-(]

As a postscript, many Vette owners have met my one daughter that frequently goes to shows, etc. w/ me and have come to realize, my oldest daughter is one of the most well behaved children - complete w/ good manners This B*T%H was just plain RUDE [X-(]
