Kayaking and fun with Kris and family!

We've been out a week now, and we realized that we've had campgrounds on the water everyday!  The first night we were on Kerr Lake, then 2 days on Virginia Beach, 2 days on Lum's Pond, and now we are camped on the Bush River right outside of Baltimore!

Yesterday we rented kayaks on Lum's Pond and had fun exploring the coves and looking at turtles and birds.  One of the coves was criss-crossed by a zip line and we cheered and waved to them as they zipped over our heads.  The loon we saw was sitting a stump and almost looked like she was standing on the water!!  We definitely thought about Ella and how she likes turtles  There were everywhere!!

After our adventure on the pond, we went into Wilmington to see Emily's college roommate and her family:  Rob, Gage and Kris.  Gage is a month older than Ella and we had a grand time playing soccer and reading to him.  After a delicious supper cooked by Kris, we all went out for ice cream.  Gage gave me some of his preschool paintings and I put them on our refrigerator.

Saturday, we moved to our current site right outside of Baltimore.  After settling in, we took our segways to the Inner Harbor.  Baltimore is very bike and segway friendly and we toured the harbor, got National Aquarium tickets for tomorrow, rode out to Fort McKinley, and ate a mediocre seafood dinner in a very nice restaurant overlooking the harbor.  (Dave posted his Yelp review on FB)

Sunday we will start at the Aquarium early and then go to the American Visionary Craft Museum and then... who knows!!
