July 4th ....

We spent nine days down on the

Chesapeake Bay with our brother-in-law Tommy 

and sister-in-law Joanne

They have retired now and invited us down for

the week.......how generous of them :)

We don't see them often enough so spending that

much time with them at such a beautiful location

was super special.

It's very relaxing.......sleeping in, big breakfast,

bloody mary's on the porch in the morning, summer walks, checking

crab pots, going for a boat ride, hanging out at the pool,

playing lots and lots of corn hole, evening cocktails on the porch,

lots and lots of fabulous food.

you see.......nothing but relaxation!!

view of their home from the pool

first day corn hole winners....Johnny and Joanne
looks like they are singing something...haha

yumm...steamed crabs caught right off of the dock

Joanne and I having fun.....

Joanne and I love boat riding and so a lot of times when

the guys go run errands, we take off in the boat and check

on all of the Osprey nest

this view from their porch just never gets old...so beautiful
and only one crummy day out of 9....that's ok!

later.....
