ANNAPOLIS

Again, had great seas for the trip up here 2 days ago. Got into Annapolis Yacht Basin about 10 AM and had the day to play. Don and Anne, our VA friends were already there waiting for us on their boat. After walking the town, we met up for drinks at Happy Hour .

Yesterday, John and I did a big walk in the morning, while Mark and Maridee did the Naval Academy tour. After lunch, John, Mark and Don did boy stuff on their boats, while Anne, Maridee, and I shopped til we dropped. We hit every ladies shop in old town Annapolis. I don't usually shop with others, but we had a wonderful girlie time, trying on clothes, and chit chatting etc. We ended afternoon with Happy Hour on the back of Anne and Don's boat. They were docked right up to the Yacht Basin. The view left us speechless!!! Later we walked over to Ruth Chris Steakhouse for dinner. My Garmin Vivofit recorded that John and I walked almost 20,000 steps yesterday!

This morning we went to Church at the Naval Academy Chapel. It was a beautiful service and attended by many Plebes. Afterwords, went to long time Annapolis standby, Middleton's, for Brunch.

COULD NOT LEAVE ANNAPOLIS WITHOUT PAINKILLERS
