Today we decide to travel out to Annapolis, MD. We drive east on the beltway and then on a parkway. We head into Annapolis and see an old city. I guess growing up in the mid-west we just don't realize some of the everyday sites that one sees on the east coast. We pass by old cities, buildings and houses that flatter the eye. Why I don't remember seeing this when we lived in the area? Well, I guess it would be that Tom was only an E-2 in the Army and a base pay of $95.20 per month did not give us the opportunity to see the country. If it was free, we did it, if not, ....!
We drive by the Naval Academy, getting to view this from behind a barbed wire fence. Remember when we could drive onto the army posts, naval bases and air force bases? Well, that ceased long ago (9/11/2001?).
Annapolis was a lovely city, worth a lot more time than what we gave it.
We left Annapolis and headed east, on the Bay Bridge. What a beautiful sight it was too. We drove down into the coastal region and found a marvelous little fresh fish diner at a place called Knapp's Landings. We stopped and had wonderful eats right in a fishing harbor on the Cheaspeake Bay. Talk about having a great time, we sure did.
We stopped by a little roadside stand and bought fresh corn on the cob to have for dinner. When we arrived back at the campsite we had the corn, a steak and a salad. Is this life great of what?
