Farewell not Goodbye!

We did take our site seeing trip as planned. This is where General Robert E Lee's birth home is located along the Potomac River. Stratford Hall is the name of the plantation. We had a very informative guided tour of the mansion and we walked the grounds after to see all the outhouses around the Great House. 
This shot is if the four of us standing in the foreground of the mansion. From left to right Larry, Gail, Rich and Greti. As you can see the rain subsided and the sun was trying hard to shine. 
After we went into the town down the road to Angelo's for a bite of lunch. Greti and I walked across the street to see what the little shop had to offer but found it closed. It amazed us that they had all these beautiful glass birdbaths sitting outside but they were closed. In most towns they wouldn't be there long before someone walked off with them. I guess some safe places still exist. The picture is of Larry and Rich waiting in front of Angelo's for us to return. 
We decided to extend our day into the evening seeing that it would be our last night to see each other for awhile. We all wanted seafood seeing that we couldn't get it for lunch. We stopped at a seafood market on the way back to the marina to buy shrimp and crab. This is Greti, Rich and Larry at the table in the boaters lounge as we were sitting down to crab cakes, shrimp and salad that Greti and I prepared in the lounge kitchen. Yum!
