Maryland

Our vacation to Maryland was fantastic!  We loved the National Aquarium and the Cryptological Museum.  The boys seemed to enjoy it all--especially lunch at Pandera Bread.  We loved the time at the Larkin home! Their backyard is gorgeous with a beautiful forest behind the lawn.  We saw rabbits, squirrels, lightning bugs, birds (Yes even an oriole!) and butterflies.  We played games, watched movies, and got hooked on Doctor Who shows.  The boys are so energetic!  Loved being able to spend time with them.  We went to the Farmer's Market both Saturdays--which I've always wanted to do.  I think the highlight was going to Gettysburg, PA.  It is the one hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the battle this year.  I didn't realize what a huge area they battled in.  The country is beautiful!
The down side of the trip was two trips the ER for my ear infections.  However, I would rather be there and sick than staying home because I was sick.  I'm still having issues now that I  am home, but after three anti-biotics, I guess I'll have to go to an ENT next week.  At least I had a wonderful vacation to enjoy!
