Annapolis, MD (USA)

[in the morning, Brenna and I texted a lot about the Boat trip - I initially asked her to come over at 0900 but, after realizing how long it was going to take to get there, I requested she come earlier - we still didn’t leave until the original time and then hit traffic - we made it to Pasadena (Maryland) by 1015 - Brenna met some of my friends (and new people) and we left Chris’ house (on the boat) about 30 minutes later - almost immediately, the boat motor started to spew black smoke so we headed back to the pier - we unpacked the boat and got back in our car - we all then drove (separate cars) to Annapolis and parked along MD-450 - Brenna and I ate lunch I’d made (bologna and cheese sandwiches) - after walking a little way down the road, we arrived at the ALPA Picnic (near Naval Academy Bridge, across from the school) at around noon - we found a good place to sit and enjoyed snacks and drinks we’d brought while waiting for the Blue Angels show to start - Brenna enjoyed the opportunity of being 21 and everyone was good to her - at 1400, we were treated to a really good air show - afterwards (1500), we walked back to our car and got in the big traffic line - Brenna and I talked about current events until I had to dial into a Telcon for work (1600) - we were home soon after - when my call was over, Brenna and I talked a bit longer and then she departed for her house she could take a nap]
