Baltimore - Stop #2 Harbor

After our delicious Crabcake meal, we went to our hotel in the Harbor.  It was a great location!  We were across the street from restaurants and museums.  We walked for miles!!  We ended up going to the Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.  That was so much fun!  For dinner, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe.  On Thursday, before we left town, we went to Blaze Pizza.  Jeremy was so excited to go there!  It is a design-your-own-pizza and then they cook it in a wood-fire pizza oven.  It was delicious!!  It was nice to get away for a night and explore a new city!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baltimore - Stop #1 Faidley's Crabcakes

We took a one night trip to Baltimore to eat at restaurants Jeremy saw on TV.  Our first stop was Faidley's Crabcakes in Lexington Market.  It was ghetto!!  We did walk through the Market to see other fresh seafood, pig's head, and a variety of meats.  After that, we did not linger in the area.  

The Crabcakes were delicious!!  It was one of the best Crabcakes we have ever had!

This is our view from our room.

 

 

Our next stop...stay tuned!

Love Nature...Even in the Middle of the City

Jeremy always finds a way to have fun in the Jeep...even in the middle of the city!  It was so much fun!

 

I was up and out early over break to have the State Inspection done on the Jeep - what a beautiful view!

 

Christmas 2016

We are truly blessed!  We had a wonderful Christmas!

On Christmas Eve, we ate Buffalo Wings and Crab Cakes made by Jeremy!  They were delicious!

Enjoying the Christmas Season

After Ryan's Choir Concert, we enjoyed relaxing at home on a Thursday night...which is a rare event!

Thanksgiving Weekend

This is pretty much what we did all Thanksgiving Weekend.  We all had a great time, relaxing and hanging out.

 

Hawk in our Backyard

Jeremy spots animals all the time!  It doesn't matter if he is driving or sitting in our house...he can spot them!

Here is a hawk that loved our backyard for a few days...wonder what he was eating!

Grandma and Grandpa Orwat's Visit

Grandma and Grandpa Orwat came out to Virginia for a visit.  We had a great time!

 

 

Stella loved snuggling with Grandma!

 

 

 On Veteran's Day, we went to Arlington National Cemetery.  Grandma and Grandpa had the opportunity to see the Changing of the Guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.  We took the shuttle around and saw areas we haven't seen before.

 

Then we had a nice dinner in Arlington.  Grandma always enjoys her dessert.

 

 

 

The weekend ended with watching Ryan play two games!  It was a great visit! 

Ryan's Chorus Event

He always looks so handsome!

Ryan's 14th Birthday

Happy Birthday to a wonderful son!!  We are lucky to be your parents and are extremely proud of you!  

Ryan's Early Birthday gift was his trip to Ohio to watch Team USA vs Team Canada in the preliminary World Cup games.  Then he went to his first Ohio State football game.  So when he went to the Woodbridge High School football game with his friends, we surprised him with a weight bench.  It was the best part of the day - giving a well-deserved young man a surprise!  

 

 

 

Buffalo Tournament

Ryan's team played in the Buffalo Tournament - they went 2-2.  I will add pictures later this week.  His team bought the pictures from the tournament.  Here are a few of the pictures.
