Continuing Down the Road

So, where was I.....Oh yes, back in the Baltimore area...... at Jackie's house... ;)
We decided to go into Annapolis on Tuesday. I had never been to this historic town. I am in love with old buildings, roads & the ability to bridge time by being in the same place as our ancestors.
We had a great lunch by the water & a great *walkabout* in town.



The streets were narrow and I could almost see ladies walking with their baskets over their arms and bonnets on.
This is "Shiplap House"....built in the 1700s...use to be an old tavern....where our Forefather's ate, drank and told jokes.




Here I am at the MD state house...where George Washington held council....pretty cool huh!! It's the oldest state capitol still in use....and quite beautiful. I love that it was built using only wooden pegs!! Imagine.
The lightening rod was designed by Benjamin Franklin.....Woo...history!

Then Jackie took me down a passage way that lead from one street to the next....If these bricks could talk...
Or....If I could look this good after 400 years ;)


Soon enough it was time to head back to Jackie's house & to get ready for the next morning's 6am flight.

I had an amazing trip back East!!
I will look forward to next year and more adventures....but for now, it's out to the workshop for me....Orders Await....Gratefully!
Check out these Sweet Peas...and pea pods....Jack in the Beanstalk....for sure!!
