St. Michael's

We haven't had a chance to do many road trips this summer, so last weekend, we did a day trip to St. Michael's, MD, which is a cute little town on the Eastern Shore. If you don't leave at 8am on Saturday morning during vacation season and stop for iced coffee along the way, it should take less than 2 hours to get there. So, it took us about 3 hours, but that's okay.

We had a great time. There's a cute little playground, some stores to browse, including a great toy store, and you can eat on the water.

The lowlight of the day was when P&F threw a fit when we wouldn't let them walk right along the jellyfish-infested water to look at the boats. It was tantrum city. The type where they won't walk a step farther and just fall to the ground in a floppy mess. Such is life with two almost 2-year olds.

The best part of the day was sitting on the water to eat lunch. Fletch LOVED watching the boats go by. Piper was enamored with her coloring. It was the perfect setting.

It was a great day, followed by a great night's sleep for P&F. All that fresh sea air left them tuckered out.
