Johnny and I made a trip in to DC to visit our nation's capitol. It had been a while for me and a very long time for Johnny since his last visit. We walked the mall, talked to the secret service detail in front of the White House , and ate at Ebbit's Grill. Interesting day.

We visited Baltimore to see my cousin Mike Sugden and his wife Marlene. Good to see them. As much fun to be with as always. First day we were there we went to their house. Very cute. Marlene has definitely put her stamp on it. Mike picked up "real" Maryland crab cakes and we had lunch at the house and got caught up on each other's news.

Second day we went to the Inner Harbor and spent the day exploring and hanging out. We had a rocky start to the day with a flat tire going into the parking garage! No problem. Johnny had that tire changed in no time and we were on to the day's activities. It turned out to be a spectacular day with clear skies and mild weather. Rode the water taxi around to different areas of the harbor. Mike and Marlene were great tour guides and wonderful company.
