and put it in drive and pointed it in the direction of Missouri
They made the most of their time here in Maryland with a visit to the eastern shore, complete with visiting the ponies on Assateague island, doing the Boardwalk things in OCMD and dining at Liquid Assets. They also “did” DC, seeing various monuments, along with the St. Mary’s City centric exhibit “Written in Bone”, and happily they navigated Metro Parking lots, and the Metro itself without getting lost. They also spent a day in Annapolis, did the tour of the Academy, and had lunch at the Ramshead. As reported, locally we saw Historic St. Mary’s City, they did some kayaking in the river, and enjoyed the gray lagoon, now quite attractive without that evil pump works in the middle of everything.
Last Saturday we also treated them to the smoke from the Great Dismal Swamp fire
Yesterday we went to the “soft” opening of our new farmer’s market just south of the base
Inside there were a few farmer’s displaying their products, which always provide great photo ops.
Local dining occasions included a brunch at the Dry Dock (the “you guys” experience), an al fresco lunch at the Front Porch, breakfast at Linda’s, carryout BBQ from the Grill Sergeant (report to come), more carryout Mexican from Monterey, and last night a “final” dinner at the Dry Dock. FOJTY also did some good work on the grill for us.
So, now our shift lever will get put back into drive, but the road will be much smoother after spending time with part of our family. We know we choose to live here, away from the FOJTE’s and the FOJTY’s but it’s such a joy to be around them when we can. They all are great to be with. Wish we could do it more. And, of course there is always the old saying “Live long enough to be a problem to your children”. So, beware you all.
And when it mattered we were

After the glow fades a bit we’ll get back to the business of foodie things, such as the prospects of yet another steak house growing here.. and it isn’t Morton’s…
