MARYLAND

Saturday, October 3, 2009

Ryan’s desire while on home assignment was to go to an aquarium, so we went to the Baltimore Aquarium which is one of the best in the US. The favorite for all of us was the dolphin show.

Next we drove to Annapolis where two kids (Scotlin and Mckensie) I was a nanny for in 1997, are now cadets at the Naval Academy. Between class and preparing for the parade they (and their parents who were in for the Navy vs Air Force football game) showed us around the beautiful campus. We shopped in the store (where Mr B bought the kids each a Navy souvenir) and saw the beginning of the parade where all the cadets were in their dress clothes. Such discipline!

Go Navy!

That night we drove a little farther in Maryland and stayed with the Sheard family. Dan came to Paraguay two years ago to teach us about orality (teaching non-literate people).

So glad ya'll got to visit them! I know they were glad to see you after so many years. Glad you got to see Rick & Susan while they were visiting also.
Thanks for keeping us posted with your pictures & blog. Helps to stay in touch! I'll try to post some pictures on my Facebook from Bahamas so the kids can see me with the dolphins.
