Wednesday - July 23

This is what summertime is all about - HOT and SUNNY!      I got an early start with the exercising (7:30) to try and beat the heat.    Mark's back has been bothering him, so laying off doing any weight lifting for a bit.
 
After breakfast, I did 2 more loads of laundry and started packing......yup, we are off on another little trip and this time, driving to NC and family vacation at Lake James.    Can't wait to have all 7 grandchildren together, but we'll miss Ryan and Patrick!
 
After lunch we drove to Easton and I got a manicure while Mark ran a few errands.    Stopped for iced coffees and back to boat to pack some more.
 
We left the boat at 5:30 and drove to St. Michaels for pizza at Ava's - had heard about this place and WOW.....excellent.  We sat in the pretty courtyard with big fans - very pleasant and fireplaces ready for cooler weather.   Definitely a "return to" place.    Then we drove out in the country (lots of corn and soybean fields with some wheat fields here and there).    Even saw 12 deer romping and running in the open meadow - so cool!      Tilghman Island is a small island (pop 700) 16 miles from St. Michaels and since we've anchored near here, decided to see it by land.   Many long lanes with beautiful huge homes at the end...most on the water!    Took the ferry from Bellevue back to Oxford (7 minute ride).
 
Ryan posted this picture on FB this morning from Utah....wow!
And I just mentioned in yesterday's blog about the sky and scenery over St. George!
