Old Bay, Our Way

Thank you to OLD BAY for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

When the clock strikes five on any given weekday, you can find me texting my boyfriend “on my way!” as I’m leaving work en route to the boat.

An evening out on the water is such a calming way to unwind from a wild workweek, and the perfect excuse to leave our worries on land. Sometimes we take our goldendoodle Nash to our favorite little island, but most nights we just drop anchor in the middle of the bay, rock to the waves, and catch up as the sun goes down.

With a cold spiked seltzer in one hand and hot crab dip in the other, we chat about our day and about life, listen to tunes, and reflect on the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay.

A joyride on the boat after work wouldn't be the same without crab dip, and crab dip wouldn't be the same without OLD BAY! Maybe it's the Marylander in me, since we tend to put OLD BAY on everything, but it's a must-have during our dinnertime cruises.
