Not the pilgrim's mayflower
We had company this weekend. My friend Melissa was en route from Cincinnati to Roanoke and engineered a visit in between business opportunities. She arrived Sunday morning--via plane, not the Mayflower--and we promptly took her to our favorite show-it-off-to-out-of-towners site, Annapolis, for the day. We toured the Naval Academy, had ice cream at Storm Bros., briskly walked through downtown as the parking meter was about to run out, crossed the bridge to Eastport and ooh'd and aah'd at the yachts, and then drove home through rain and hail to make dinner and watch the Olympics. The next morning we dropped off Drew for the final camp of the summer, then continued south to Roanoke where we spent 24 hours before coming back north for M to catch a flight home from Dulles. It was quite a whirlwind tour!
In the photo above you can see the ship My Shanti moored outside of the Annapolis Yacht Club. To call this ship a beauty is an understatement! The photo doesn't do it justice. That's the Eastport bridge to the left and just peeking out beyond the ship you can see the blue-gray siding of the Yacht Club. If you look really closely you can even see a smaller boat sitting on the deck. Yep, the ship is THAT big!
Here are some shots Drew took at the Naval Academy:
