Wednesday - June 21

Welcome to
SUMMER
 
And it sure feels like it here in Oxon Hill, MD where we are hanging out on Ryan's boat "Terraphobic" at the
 National Harbor Marina.   
 
We left Annapolis around 10:30 and just a short little drive here.    Brought our things onboard and then left for Old Alexandria where we were on Catrina in August, 2014.     Walked around that neat historic area, had a delicious lunch at The Blackwall Hitch and then I browsed a bit more.   It was so hot though, so around 2ish we came on back to the boat.
 
Later this afternoon we walked around the Harbor - what a lovely area, including the big capital wheel right on the dock.  
 
 $15 to ride this - $13.50 for seniors and military
+ tax
Opened May 23, 2014
 
Along with some major hotels (Westin, Marriott, Wyndham, etc) there are oodles of restaurants, shops and everything you could possibly need if you lived here - gourmet grocery, medical facilities, cleaners, nail and hair salons, CVS and Walgreens and on and on.  And the building continues!
 
It's been waaay to long since we saw Ryan and sooo good to see him after work today.    We met at Succotash, a great Southern comfort food place.    Fun catching up and then back to the boat for more chatter.     Sooo many people out and about this pretty evening.    We sat on the back deck of Terraphobic with our wine and enjoyed this brief time with Ryan!
