We picked up Theresa and Doug the day before yesterday (July 7) in Washington D.C. We spent that night in Yorktown (night 3 for us) and the following day we moved on to Irvington, VA where we cruised into The Tides Inn. Wow, first class place and we were able to view the town (or should I say the wide spot in the road) from the bikes they loaned us. Theresa and Doug went swimming and before Chris and I could get out to the pool there was another spectacular display of lighting and thunder. They got drenched when they finally ran back to the boat. It lasted for a couple of hours and was fascinating.... so much different than back home. It's such a great spot to visit and I'm thankful that we bought Buster and had the opportunity to get to know this part of the country even if it's just a little knowledge. It's an amazing area and very rich indeed.
Today we are heading to Solomons, MD. It's about 60 miles and with our average speed of about 10 mph you can tell it's a good long trip. We crossed the Potomac River and I'm amazed at how large it is! We really couldn't see much land in any direction as we were passing the mouth of the river.
Doug and Theresa saw fireflies last night and that is my mission for tonight! Can't wait. I could stay for a long time just cruising around back here. LOVE IT!!!!
Oh yeah, I think we left the photo card reader in the rental car, so pictures to follow later :)
