Quite the View: Collecting and "Ownership" on the Bay

(He jokes that the birds use it as nesting material.) And there's no need to do anything at all, but relax and get a haircut...at home.

Offering both a seasonal menu and a fresh variety of the fishermen's best catch, Sam's has something for everyone. A place to reunite with friends, Sam's was the perfect place to take my friend Heather Wiley - an HR specialist in the D.C. area. Well traveled and having a seasoned palate from her days as a road warrior, Heather was more than prepared to take advantage of many options on Sam's winter menu. Heather first started off with edamame with Chesapeake salt as an appetizer. She later got a hankering for cream of crab soup. For her main course, Heather selected the seafood linguine. She also ordered the shrimp po boy to take home for her boyfriend. For dessert, she opted for the key lime pie. Dinner was delectable and so was the conversation. As she chatted about her son's recent wedding, Heather enjoyed the view...
