July 4th
We had a great time with Jenny at SML. We wandered around the Lake with Captain Bender, had happy hours in coves, and ate great meals! We don’t miss the lake since we got rid of our boats…but it is only because we can still be on the water with Jenny!
We needed a new state park pass for this year, so one day we went to SML state park to get one and went for a beautiful short hike! Thanks Jenny for your hospitality!
C & O Canal Trip
Gretchen and I thought it would be neat to make a YouTube video letting people know they can ride from Washington DC to Pittsburg. So we planned a trip to video portions of the C & O Canal Trail and to see Sally in Frederick.we spent 3 day filming segments near Washington, Harper’s Ferry, Williamsport and Cumberland.
This is where the trail ends in Cumberland and where the Great Allegheny Passage begins which leads you to Pittsburg. We try to video that trail in the fall!
Sally came to Frederick on our last night to eat dinner and spend the evening with us at the B&B we rented. We had a delightful time, BUT not one of us thought to take a photograph! So below is my not to swell ad-lib documentation! 😎😎😎
Olmes visit SML
The last week in July, the Olmes clan came to visit Jenny at SML. It was a fun time riding around the lake in Jenny’s new toy, My Favorite Dam Boat, swimming in coves and enjoying great meals! It was great seeing Priscilla, Phil, Stephanie, Natalie and Luke; it has been a while! Thanks so much for you hospitality Jenny, we love it when you get us all together.
Alexanders visit SML
The next week Jenny called to see if we wanted to come and spend the weekend before we all left on our fall trips. Katie was also talking about coming to VA and it was easy to convince her to come to SML!
We had a great time wandering around the lake, stopping in coves and hanging out on the dock. Unfortunately, Katie did not feel well at all. She had some sort of virus that settled in lymph nodes in her neck. The swelling was so bad she couldn’t swallow hardly at on on Sunday! She recovered after a doctor’s visit!
Jenny mastered pumping at the dock.
She is really becoming a very talented Captain!
They really are growing up!
