Calvert Marine Museum

The day started (and ended) with another high-speed dinghy run. We had a great time at the museum. I love how there's a lot for kids, but also great information about the seafaring history of the area.

That night Katreina surprised us by crumbling up her Christmas list, saying "I want the elves to spend their time on the starving kids instead of me." Wow.

We had some sweet sailing on the way back. Eventually the wind steadied above 20kts and we cruised back with a scrap of headsail up. We closed the weekend with a trip to buy Christmas lights and a had a better-than-expected dinner at Outback. :)

Last weekend for a while

What an exciting start to the weekend! Frank cut the old anchor off and put the new one on, I fell in the water trying to tie up the old dinghy, and we had a nice cruise down to Solomon's Island! When we got here we took the new dinghy out and got up on plane with all 4 of us--it was awesome! Dinner, movie night with "Thor", and now we are having sleepovers with the kids. Tomorrow we honor our veterans and head to the local maritime museum!
