Weekend Update

It was a busy weekend around our house. Chad's buddy Kirk was in town for several days, so we mixed in some sightseeing with a few preplanned activities.

On Saturday morning, in my quest to find a mirror to put above a piece of furniture in our living room, we headed to Annapolis. While there, we stopped by Middleton Tavern (because how can you pass by a place that opened in the 1700s?). Chad tried one of their "oyster shooters"--an oyster in a shot glass with some cocktail sauce. Kirk and I both thought it looked disgusting, though neither of us is one for oysters, but were happy that at least one person in our group tried out their specialty. (By the way, we didn't find a mirror, though the guys were nice enough to wander around the art store with me for 20 minutes while I looked.)

Then, even though it wasn't crab season, we headed to Cantler's, a place that's so in-the-middle-of-nowhere we worried we were lost, even though we had two separate sets of directions. Since I'm not one for working for my food, I just got a sandwich, though it was fun to watch Chad and Kirk hammer away for their dinner.

We ended our whirlwind day with bowling to celebrate a friend's birthday. In our first game, I bowled a 126 and Chad got a 119 (a good score for me, a terrible score for him). Within the last month, I have managed to beat Chad at checkers and now at a game of bowling; both were firsts. Not to be outdone, here's what he did the second game...three strikes in a row! Needless to say, I never recovered.

And on Sunday, we compensated for our crazy Saturday with laundry and lots of ironing.
