Yada yada

Met back up with Ray and Irene, and some other Canadian friends Peter and Sue. Yesterday we toured around Annapolis. It was really cool. We walked down streets that George Washington walked down. We saw America's first capitol building (the first one was in Annapolis). There is a lot of neat history in Annapolis.

We are going to be stuck here for a while. A power boat wake knocked our stove off the counter on our way to a new anchorage, breaking two knobs off the stove. So we had to order new ones. It will take three days. It's not too big of a deal though. It's dangerous to head south of Norfolk, Virginia before November 1st because of hurricanes. So if we left Annapolis and made it to Norfolk before November 1st we would be waiting around anyway.

The picture below is of LeeAnn and Irene being read to by Kunta Kinte. Remember the book Roots? Kunta Kinte's slave ship arrived in Annapolis.

Life is good.

  1. Life is good, Indeed! Looks like a lot of fun and history there!

    I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

    It was the little man in the computer mom worries about.

  3. Ryan just watched part of Roots in Social Studies.....or whatever they call it in 10th grade. Her teacher thinks they learn more about History by watching movies and talking about them. Where was this teacher when I was in school??!! Aunt Joni
