local attractions




This past week was spent visiting our many local attractions. We spent a day in Annapolis, touring the historic downtown and Naval Academy, and picnicking at the beach (where while "wading" both kids got soaked). Tuesday we all went down to DC, walking through two Smithsonians and two monuments (Washington and WWII). It was very hot and sunny, and we heard many a request (complaint) for a drink. We took a break on Wednesday, although Joel headed back down to DC to do some research on his own. Thursday we drove into Baltimore, where we started off the day with a wander through a cemetery. After touring the shot tower, we headed to Little Italy for lunch. We then went back out into the hot, humid, sunny day to walk to the Public Works museum (not worth the admission price) and then to Fells Point. On the way back we walked through the Fells Point Markets, where the kids enjoyed Italian ices.

The kids thoroughly enjoyed having Unc and Aunt Bean around, and so did we! I will miss KJ cleaning up around the house (now I have to do it by myself again!). Dot misses having Unc playing games with her. We will all miss going out to eat at restaurants...

If any of this sounds good to you, call us to vacation at our place! :-)
