Day Trip to Solomons Island

The weather was perfect this weekend and we were looking for a nice day trip.  After reading Barb's blog last week (bbmowery.blogspot.com) and seeing the pictures of the yummy crab cakes we decided to head to Solomons Island and see Barb and Robb.  We hadn't seen them since my surprise party last March so we had a lot to catch up on.  We had so much fun yesterday and were so proud of ourselves for actually getting out of the house and going on a day trip.

We got to Barb and Robb's house in the morning and hung out for a bit.  When we first got there Roo was acting really shy and following either of us around by walking behind us with his head dug into us; it was really cute.  He warmed up a bit and chased around Sukey dog and they wrestled a bit.  Sukey is a bit smaller than Baxter and a little more gentle but she still gave Roo a run for his money!

After hanging out a the house for a bit we went to see Robb's work.  Let me tell, he's got it rough.  A short commute to a nice boat, the Bay Hydro II.  Robb showed us around the boat; Roo was really curious to see how everything worked.  New Roo statement:  more boat.  That means he liked it.  And when daddy asked him if he wants a boat, he said 'yeah,' and if he had fun on the boat, he said 'yeah.'  Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, Papa....you should get Roo a big boat for his birthday ;)

After seeing Robb's boat and looking at the yacht's on the marina we went to the historic portion of Solomons and walked around on the boardwalk and the town for a bit and then had a yummy seafood lunch.  After that we went to the playground and Roo and Barb enjoyed ice cream.

On the way home, Love Bug took a little nap in the car and Roo, of course, did his best to wake him up.  I'm still amazed at what a horrible rider Roo is; I really thought he would be better by now.  But, even on this easy hour long drive he wanted out.  Oh well, as soon as he can be entertained by something like a game boy in the car, it's his!

The weather was perfect and we all had a blast.  It was so good to see Barb and Robb and to catch up with them.  Check out Barb's artwork on her etsy site (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5104031).  Solomons is a pretty easy day trip so I think we'll be heading over there a few times a year!
