It's 9:15 Friday evening and we have just returned from our big day driving to Ocean City. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the Blues perform as there was a low ceiling (they need 1000' and only had 700'). The practice was to start at 3 and they delayed till 4:15 hoping skies would clear. And they did for a little bit, but #5 Frank went up to check it out and no go....he did a nice flyover from behind and scared the heck out of us as we were not expecting any thrills and chills.
We left this morning at 7:15, stopped in Cambridge and had breakfast at The Black Water. Picked up our new screen for door we had made at the Cambridge Canvas Co. and mailed a package at the post office. On our way again arriving in Ocean City around 11.
We parked and walked to the Holiday Inn where the team was staying and picked up our tickets. We got to see Tyler (#6). Frank (#5), Joe (Public Affairs Officer), and Sam (Maintenance Officer). It was so good to see these guys and here we are with 2 of them..
Tyler, Mark, Pat, Joe
Pretty hibiscus in Cambridge
Ocean City has a nice boardwalk so we walked for a while, got milk shakes and waited for the show which didn't happen. Visited with some nice folks who were wanting to see their husband, son, nephew, friend fly with #4 today, but....sure disappointed for them.
Came home thru Delaware and then stopped at "Harry's on the Green" in Denton, MD for nice dinner. We've been in Denton before with Daisy in 2012. Harry's was a big ole house and we sat on the porch - I had a grilled pear salad and Thai shrimp; Mark had pistachio encrusted orange roughy! Everything was delicious!
Sure hope the weather will be good tomorrow and Sunday for all the fans. Amazingly when we got inland, it was all clear - the poor visibility (mainly vertical) was out over the ocean.
