Oct 5th Annapolis Boat show amazing

 Morning starts out with Doug working on the computer.

 One of the many nice boats at the Annapolis boat show. Over 400 boats in the water.

 For lunch we had a roast beef sandwich and beer, look at all of those mast.

 There are so many boats and boat related sales people you can find anything here.

 Annapolis harbor is very pretty.

Overall a great day for the show, it was about 82 degrees and sunny. We wish our friends Jennie and Chris could have been here with us like the years in the past. We did not spend too much, well more than we planned, on boat stuff.

Oct 4 Second day to Visit Washington DC

President Kennedy Memorial Grave Site

 Looking from Kennedy Grave site out over the rest of the cemetary. You can see Washington Monument in the background.

 If you are ever in DC you must eat here. We had one fantastic lunch and the most reasonable price on the trip. It is located in the Georgetown section of town. Some say that if you look real close in the window you can sometimes see a Witch.

 We rode our bikes to the Capital Building after lunch, probably 2 or so miles away.

 The National Botanic Garden is located to the right of the Capital building. It is really a nice facility.

 Becky always likes purple.

Back to the camper it was time to relax and enjoy a campfire.

OCTOBER 3 Washington DC, another great place to bike

 Jefferson Memorial

Sept 27 Newport RI

We had a nice sunrise at Winter Island Park, then we prepared to move to Newport RI

This was the view from our campsite.  Awesome!

 Becky overlooking the harbor before leaving our site heading to Newport, RI.

On the way to Newport we saw this sign.  Maybe we should have a couple of these at WMV.

We rode our bikes in Newport, RI and took in the sites including many boat yards and marinas.

  
Look at those winches.  Tomorrow on to New Jersey.

Oct 2 Annapolis Md, let it rain and rain and rain

Today we wandered the streets of Annapolis prior to the Boat Show.  Things will get real busy here within the next couple of days.  The weather was overcast with a light drizzle most of the day.  As you can see from this pic we basically had the streets to ourselves. 

We did treat ourselves to a chocolate caramel pecan delight from the shop in the pic  below.  The next two pics are from within the shop were the goodies are made.  YUMMY is all we can say about that.

Oct 1 NYC to Annaplois MD

 We got up early around 7 am. and biked to our favorite restaurant for breakfast because we didn't have any milk for our cereal / oatmeal. 

 Along the ride to breakfast we saw this photo opt.  Notice the full moon above the main mast still very visible even though the sun is up also.

Most of today was spent driving to Annapolis, MD.  This will be our campsite for the next 4 days.
We will visit Washington D.C. and the Annapolis Boat Show from here.
