Ocean City Beach & Boardwalk

By the time we decided to book the hotel on the beach at Ocean City, they were all sold out. I guess, one week in advance is not enough time to get a hotel reservation there. This weekend was supposed to be very hot, so we made a decision to go to the beach anyway, just for the day. We were not disappointed. Our little “beach house” was very handy on the beach. 🙂

Hermione Visits Baltimore

Recently, I noticed that the Visit Alexandria website was advertising the arrival of the ship “Hermione” to the Alexandria harbor. The event included various activities and the ship looked beautiful from the picture. The Hermione was supposed to be there for 10 days, but it was almost over by the week-end. After Alexandria, the ship was planned to visit several historical ports, one of them was Baltimore next week-end.

Early Sunday morning Dave and I arrived at the Baltimore Inner Harbor to explore the Hermione, visit the National Aquarium and enjoy a beautiful sunny day on the Harbor. Isn’t she beautiful?
