Hooray for jujubees!

Today is July 31, 2009.
We’re in Delaware.

Happy birthday, Scott Thomas! :D

This morning, we left Annapolis and now we’re at the Summit North Marina in between the Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Bay. This morning, while we were leaving the dock, we heard the boys at the Naval Academy running and yelling… waaaay too early.

I had spaghetti for breakfast again.

We went under the Bay Bridge! It’s so huge. Look at this thing!

Then we saw a lighthouse. We don’t know which one it is. There are a lot in this area on the chart, but it’s a cool picture anyway…

This is the Turkey Point lighthouse. Very pretty.

And this is a bridge. Just south of where we are now. I forgot which one. My apologies for the sloppy journalism.

I also had spaghetti for lunch. Mmmmm.

I went in search of an internet connection to no avail. We’re in Delaware. However, I did find a tomato plant. On a dock! Way cool. Forgot my camera. Had to run for cover due to hurricane force winds and blinding rains. We barely made it.
jk, but there was a thunderstorm.

Later, we went to a restaurant by the marina called AquaSol. Interesting place. “Miami Cuisine” they say. I had lobster mac n cheese. It was fabulous. This is a picture of the RR bridge we could see from the patio of the restaurant- kinda cool...

Tomorrow we are headed to Cape May, then on to Atlantic City. There’s been a slight change of plans. We are not laying over in Cape May, but instead spending 2 days in Atlantic City.

p.s. there are jellyfish EVERYWHERE!

duck. duck. jellyfish.

Today is July 30, 2009.

I had an amazing morning- woke up late, read my book on the stern with Fran, there was an awesome breeze- this place is beautiful.

We finally got Alice’s sunglasses fixed! (there is more to this story, but we’ll save that for a later time…) We had an adventure at the Pennsylvania Dutch Bakery. We have enough food to last us until the end of time- pies, fruit, bagels, candy, brownies… yum-oh!
After we got all of our finds back to the boat, we headed off in the rental car to St Michaels- over the Bay Bridge. More on that later.

We had lunch at the Crab and Steakhouse Restaurant (I finally had a crab cake!!! Devine, just devine…) just across from the St Michaels Lighthouse. Here’s a picture.

Here are Barry and Dick.

And Alice and Fran.

We saw ducks!

And more jellyfish!

And here are 2 awesome crab boats… they look like they’re about to sink!

We walked around “downtown” St Michaels. Looked in little shops- the town is way cool.

Then we had to take the Bay Bridge back to Annapolis. I decided I’m not a fan. It’s very tall. Cruise ships can fit underneath.

During rush hour, they close one lane of the westbound bridge (there are 2 bridges. One eastbound and one westbound.) and let cars go in the opposite direction! It’s utter chaos! Here’s a picture:

p.s. all day, I’ve been singing that song, “That’s Life” Michael Buble-style… great song.
