Maryland visit

We've just come back from a grand visit in Maryland, our old stomping grounds. It was a lot of fun visiting Aubrey who is growing like a weed. She's 18 months and a very busy girl. An amazing climber with no fear - keeps everybody hopping...

Granddaddy and Aubrey checking out the outside action
We rented a house on the water in Shady Side, the next neighborhood over from Heather and Brian. What a fantastic location. Right on the confluence of the West River and the Bay. A much better idea than an anonymous hotel. We don't use Airbnb often, but this was a great find.

A house with a comforting feel
The weather was not ideal - chilly and rainy most of the time, but Mark and I were there for family, and it is February after all. We found things to do anyway - playpark at the mall and some restaurant action. Aubrey does so well in these grownup places.

PF Chang's
We had wintering over friends at the rental home. Bald eagles, geese, and tundra swans. The tundra swans live in northern Alaska in the summer. That's 4200 miles of migration - some have been tagged and tracked year after year so it's legit. Amazing.

Next up golf trip to Hilton Head. Retirement is lots of busy fun so far...
