Sunday - July 20

We took our bikes and rode into Rock Hall......good little jaunt and not much traffic this Sunday morning.   There are several marinas (at least 6) in this small town and one of them (The Sailing Emporium) is on the outskirts of town.    This is where we stayed in 2001 on Philip's boat "Terraphobic" with friends, Barb and Roger.    Barb and I were amazed at the spectacular flowers and they are still keeping this place as gorgeous as 13 years ago   There are many perennials and oh-so-many annuals.   Maybe they have stock in Miracle Grow?     Of all the marinas we've been to on oh-so-many waterways, the Sailing Emporium get the prize for best flowers EVER!!!     A close second that comes to mind would be in Leamington, Ontario.

Anyway......not sure why the flowers are so lush out here on the east coast - maybe being close to the water?    At any rate, the folks sure do have green thumbs and take pride in their yards, gardens, downtown planters, window boxes, etc.    Okay....enough about flowers!

We stopped at Java Roast for breakfast (great Canadian bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches) and then more riding thru residential areas, the beach, etc.   We left the marina around 11:15 and cruised 15 miles to the Queenstown anchorage outside the little berg of Queenstown.(pop.   659)

Lazy Sunday afternoon  - reading, naps, computer stuff, etc.   
 Even had a little rain shower pass thru.  
 
Another sweet pic from yesterday...
 
Blair and her Daddy
 
Had an early dinner of BLT's and watermelon and just enjoying this beautiful evening out here floating around with nature!   Only 1 other boat off in the distance.
 
At 7:00 we took the dinghy out for a peaceful ride - supposed to be eagles in this area and thought we might find a nest or two with the binoculars, but no luck.    Very pleasant ride.
 
Did face time tonight and watched Blair open her birthday gifts (clothes and toys)!   FUN!!!    That girl is on the move walking here and there - so cute!!!
 
The Blue Angels were performing at Offutt AFB near Omaha this weekend.   Ryan's 2 aunts, uncle and friends were there to enjoy it all...
 
Have a great week!
