Today it was sunny and 75. We had a semi-leisurely morning and then took the boat out on the Potomac.<br /><br />For lunch, we stopped at a little riverfront crabshack and had fresh softshell crab while dining on the patio which over-looked the river. Mud pie for desert. My lab, who was along for the ride, hung out a stones throw from the table.<br /><br />After lunch, we needed a nap so we boated over to George Washington's estate (Mount Vernon) and anchored just off the cupola. The water was calm with a light breeze, and the estate was amazing, as always.<br /><br />To end the day we had a lesiurely two hour cruise down the river and then headed back to the dock.<br /><br />At the dock, we had the usual entertainment of watching some idiot "power load" his 19 foot boat. He only rammed/missed the bow stop about five times before he decided he was on the trailer right. Of course he wasn't and he had to winch it up in the parking lot.<br /><br />The ride home was uneventful with light traffic. I even got the boat backed in the way I wanted it on the first shot!<br /><br />We entered the house ready for a light snack and then off to bed. That's when it hit us... My old sheppard (~14 years) had liquid/spraying diarrhea all over the house. It was really an amazing day.

Hey the rain stopped! Finally got the batteries charged and the old girl fired right up after a long winter's nap. <br /><br />Did I mention we've had 10 days straight rain... took me half the day to cut and trim the grass... normally a two hour job. <br /><br />But it was still a great day.

Re: Amazing Day

My daughter called me from some beach on Hood Canal, in Puget Sound yesterday!<br /><br />She and a bunch of her engineering buddies had just dug some steamer clams, and she wanted advice on how to prepare/cook them!<br /><br />She has dug them before, and she has eaten them before, but apparently has been asleep in the interim between the two tasks previously.<br /><br />I do miss the salt water, and Puget Sound generally!!!

Re: Amazing Day

No wonder you are obsessed with gastrointestinal issues . . .<br /><br />That right there is the type of boating we really can't do in So Cal . . :( I guess we could go over to Catalina for some seafood, but the trip back is defintiely not "a lesiurely two hour cruise". I am envious, well of most of the day :D
