A Bit of Paradise…Good Friends at The Bay Café in Baltimore, Maryland

Gary Sisson is a Floyd Wickman trainer and one of my mentors. We met early in my career after I took the Sweathogs program, and have stayed good friends throughout the years. Gary called to say he was on his way to New Jersey visiting family, and would be coming through Baltimore on his way back home to North Carolina. We made plans to have lunch on his way home.

Lee and I would meet them at a favorite restaurant, the Bay Café in Baltimore,Maryland.

This is not a first for us..take a look You Can Get There From Here...Baltimore's Bay Café

It was a perfect day for us to have lunch at the Bay Café with Gary, his wife Lauren, and their lovely daughter, Olivia. The bar and restaurant has multiple levels, but we took a table outside and right on the water.

Bay Café is also known as Baltimore's Best Beach and with good reason.

When you walk from the parking lot it feels as if you've been transported to the tropics!

Look how they have made this feel like an island beach with gorgeous plants, lots of palms and flowering hibiscus.

Even the chalkboard of special events had a tropical feel, thanks to a couple of talented artists who work at the Café.

It was so pleasant sitting by the water, with good friends and good food. We enjoyed the superb shrimp salad, crab cakes, pizza and curly fries. In fact, we got so wrapped up in our conversation and feeding the birds that I forgot to photograph the food! But we have proof that the birds enjoyed the fries.

What else would you want for paradise but good friends, good food, and good conversation?
