Eastport, MD (USA)

[up early - texted Chris at 0700 - paperwork in the AM - he didn't get back to me until around 0945 - left the apartment and drove to Edgeport (via several unmarked back roads) - found Chris and Bridget at the Marina (1115) - examined "Banshee" and "Little Banshee", played with marina dog and looked at other people's water toys - then followed Chris to Eastport and ate lunch at the Boatyard (good gumbo) - nice food and a good visit - finished around 1300 and then walked over to see Ashley at Charthouse - walked to the other end of the boatyard area and had some drinks at the Davis Pub (1405) - enjoyed the nice weather on the patio and along the waterfront - then followed Chris through downtown Annapolis (uggggh) and visited for awhile at his place on the north side of the city - left around 1700 and drove back via US-50, I-495, I-95 and US-1 - arrived at Kelly's around 1830 - visited with Emma and Aidan before all the rest of the guests arrived - it was a pretty fun party (crab legs and other good finger foods) - the highlight of the evening for the adults was when I volunteered to take all of the kids (seven!) to the playground for about an hour - they weren't the best behaved, but didn't make me run a lot (after my surgery, that was a relief) - spent a bit longer with the grown ups before heading home on I-95 and the Fairfax County Parkway - arrived home around 2200 and went right to bed]
