Off to a flying start this day with the blog and photo editing/posting/printing. But the call from the great outdoors rang and we responded. Our sight was set on Annapolis.

A day trip to the state Capital was something we had been thinking about for a while. And a chance to take my freshly charged camera.

We used to go to Annapolis quite often but in recent years it’s been far less frequent.

Despite the great sunshine and blue sky, it was a cool day. I had shorts on but a jacket also.

Like any sunny day the Red Bean Ice Cream Bar was a popular stop.

Next week is graduation for the Naval Academy. The town was already jumping and looking good. But landscape crews, Tent assembly crews and other setup was under way. Go NAVY

A great lunch and service at The Boatyard Bar and Grill to start off the day.

Not a bad afternoon at all. Lots of walking, a good meal, some shopping and I got to take a ton of pictures. Mostly for this coming Thursday Doors. So, you will see more of this town later this week if you follow along.

Opinions

  • The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. The cost of gas went up 20 cents per gallon last week alone, so what is suspending it going to do? Besides take away money for our failing roads and bridges. Moron.
  • I will miss The Late Show.
  • We are all now aware of a new virus – hantavirus
  • When ESPN started covering WWE like a sport that is when I thought to myself enough is enough.
  • For a dead-end street, we get a lot of traffic.
