We took our annual 4th of July trip to the Chesapeake Bay to spend a
week with our family, Tommy and Joanne
and good friends Gene and Lois
This is truly one of the most relaxing vacations we take
There's not a lot going on around the "Northern Neck"
a few stores and restaurants but not much
So mostly we just hang out at their awesome home,
have grand and intense corn hole tournaments by the pool
float around in the pool
check the crab pots
fish off of the dock
go boat riding
play a card game we love called 99
kayaking
and pretty much solve all of the worlds problems while sitting
on the screened in porch that overlooks the bay
and new this year, overlooks the osprey nest!
As you can see, it just great relaxation!!
This is Tommy and Joanne's first year that the Osprey family
has had an egg hatch. Last year the geese got a hold of the egg
while down there it was so much fun watching the baby osprey
what wasn't fun was one night Joanne and I are sitting out on the porch
a crane came flying around and oh wow, momma osprey was all
over that, fighting that crane. And the baby I guess with instinct just
knew to get down low in the nest. So low that we could not even
see him, but we knew he was safe.
After about 3 fights with the crane, momma osprey went up in to
a tree top. Well dang, here comes the crane flying over the nest
Joanne and I start screaming and yelling....whew, it was stressful
they get some of the most
beautiful sunsets!
