Some of our recent land activities!




On Saturday November 17th, our friend Ed Shumaker of Annapolis, was kind enough to take us to Washington DC. to tour some famous U.S.A government buildings and the National Gallery of Art. I have posted these random pics to give you a sense of what the city looked like.
Guy and I really enjoyed our tour of the city and the art gallery is amazing.

  Tuesday November 20th, we went to a Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler concert at the Verizon Center with Ed and a friend he runs with most mornings. To avoid the intense Washington DC traffic,we drove a while then jumped on the DC subway which took us a block from the concert. We grabbed a bite to eat and found our seats just in time for Mark Knopfler at 7:30.  We enjoyed he and his band for about 1.5 hours. Fabulous to see live. He truly is a master of the guitar.
After a short break we were treated to Bob Dylan and his band (Not "The Band") for 2 hours....A very entertaining evening.....


 The next morning, Nov 21st, we left Annapolis to spend Thanksgiving weekend in Charlotte N.C. with my family.


Guy has always wanted to ride a motocycle....here he sampled a bit of that feeling ....in the garage LOL!

We drove back to Annapolis ( a 7-8 hour drive) on Sunday Nov 25th. Our friends Holly and Brad came over for a nite cap , a few stories and laughs to finish off an already fun weekend.

On Monday morning, Nov 26th, we became proud grand parents  of a  7 lb 3 oz healthy and beautiful baby girl.

Her parents, Erik (our son) and his wife Natania are fine, elated and tired! 

On Wednesday, Nov 28th, the Engine installation finally begins. Stay tuned.......
