Memorial Day - Annapolis, MD



What a fun Memorial Day we had. We had an amazing barbecue on Sunday, steak with carmelized shallots; tomatoe, basil, and buffalo mozzarella cheese; garlic mashed potatoes, and for desseret the best homemade peach pie ever, of course, Kimberly baked it.

Memorial Day - Annapolis, MD

I've been hearing about how much I would like Annapolis for years and I finally got to go there. I absolutely loved it!!! The Naval Academy is located here and we went on a boat ride. The city has so much character.

You know how you tell your kids not the play with their food... well, here not only do you get to play with your food, you get to take a hammer to your food and pound on it. It was so much fun. First time I've ever had crab. It tasted so delicious. Alexis even got the hang of it, too. Science disections will never be the same again.




Memorial Day continued



We saw Night at the Museum 2 at the Nat'l Air and Space Museum, IMAX. It was so much fun watching the movie where it was filmed.

Skyline Drive, Shenandoah Nat'l Forest

The Shenandoah's are so beautiful. On our drive up we even saw a bear cub. I've never seen a bear not in a zoo. It was so exciting, but I'm glad we were safe in our car.
The day ended with a very cool swim. Alexis has been waiting since the beginning of April to go swimming in our pool.

University of Virginia, Charlottesville






We had a visitor this weekend, BEN!!! We went to UVA. It is a beautiful campus. It's designed very similar to Monticello, his home. We had a picnic and toured UVA.
