happy birthday dad

After a long redeye flight from LAX to Dulles airport in Virgina we drove over 2 hours to St. Michaels, MD. Jeff's family got together for the weekend to celebrate his Dad's 70th birthday.
Some flower fields that we saw along the way. Also saw many stands selling pumpkins and fall flowers.
Saw these pumpkins for sale in downtown St. Michaels.
St. Michaels is a very cute town on the Chesapeake bay. Lots of small shops and Bed and Breakfasts.


The guys played golf at Harbourtowne Golf Resort while the girls went shopping and walked around town. It was a beautiful day.



Our room.
It was great that the cable TV in the hotel room had Food Network and HGTV. Only other time we had those channels was in Hawaii hotels.

Before dinner we went wine tasting at St Michaels winery. The wines were a little different than we are used to but still very good for only being in business for 2 years. They even gave us a free tour of the winery. Never saw so many fruit flies in one place! Grandma and Grandpa stayed at the hotel with the kids.

Dad's Birthday Dinner
Happy 70th Birthday!!!
(Note: you can shelve that blanket for next year!!)

Jeff got the broiled seafood platter. Flounder, crab cake, shrimp and scallops. Is it possible to order any other dish with higher cholesterol?
Sunrise from our room. Very beautiful.
The family
Shops
More shops (lots of antiques)
The post office
Us, next to our favorite street. Mulberry Street had a lot of cute houses that we wish we could buy.

Some great pics of your trip. Miss that corner of the world. Think I'll vist it sometime after the new year. Looks like you had an enjoyable time. Didn't know that Wayne was just a punk kid, though...
