Anniversary trip!

The last week of October Karla and I went to Pasadena, Maryland for ten days to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

We rented a cottage and made day trips to a few close-by locations.

We visited Annapolis three days and saw some historic sites there.

We also visited the US Navel Academy in Annapolis and took a walking tour there, although I think it should have been called a sprinting tour, the guide was tall and athletic and I had a hard time keeping up with him let alone Karla with her short legs…!

One day it rained all day so we stayed at the cottage and watched movies and played cards.

We drove about 1-1/2 hours one day to St. Michaels, a quaint bay town that has many little shops and also a Maritime Museum.

On our drive home that evening we were blessed to catch a wonderful sunset at a bay-side park.

A crane that was not too bashful, it only flew away when Karla started talking to it to get it to fly.

Another park at sunset.

Our back yard at night with the moon rising.

This was our back yard view from the cottage.

Saturday afternoon we took a short half-day trip back to Lancaster for Joy’s Tennis banquet. Sunday we traveled to Solid Rock Church for their meeting. We thought it was funny that we actually were earlier for church on vacation than we are when we are at home. We arrived fifteen minutes before ten for their service but found out that that was the first week they switched to two services and we were an hour late! But we came back for the 11:15 meeting and heard Kurt Allen preach an excellent message. Monday we edited pictures and Tuesday we packed to come home. We had a wonderful vacation and appreciate all the gifts that made it possible. Thanks especially to our kids for the early party and the gifts! We are amazed at Gods faithfulness over the past 25 years and look forward to see what he has planned for the next 25!
