Eunice and I decided to take a trip to what was originally Annapolis, Maryland to rename the city, Hennapolis. We had already changed Maryland to Marilynd really due to Marilyn's wanting to steal the entire State. We let Marilyn and Minerva stay home while we brought the kids, Ethel Louis and Mildred.
One of the things we heard about were these Chick ceramic art pieces placed all over the West Street area in downtown Hennapolis. We were hoping to get a photo with each. Here are the ones we were able to find.
Our first stop was at this great coffee place called Baltimore Coffee. We had coffee and pastry, passing up on the chicken salad. Becky (left) and Kim (right) were very helpful.
Eunice and I checked into the Westin Hotel. We met Jim Piccoli, the General Manager.
Although there was a restaurant just across the street, we were a bit full from breakfast. However, we saw this planter that looked as if it had edible flowers and indulged, hoping that nobody would spot us.
Since there was art all over town, we thought we might do some of our own art as we went to a place called Wine and Design and see if we could learn to paint.
Here is Denise, who taught us how to paint.
On the following day, we went to a place called Spice and Tea where we met Basil. I guess if you are only eating spice and drinking tea, you can be a bit underweight. Eunice, the kids and I discussed our trip and asked for some pointers. We also met Melanie and Erica who delightfully ran the store.
That evening, we had a dinner at the hotel.
It was our last day as we started with breakfast. Ethel Louise and Mildred insisted on having eggs Benedict with smoked salmon. We try not to tell them too much. I guess that it's no different from human babies having mother's milk. In fact since there was plenty, we all shared it.
We decided to take a harbor tour over at the Dock Street area. Hitched a ride in someone bag. We talked with some ducks. and then boarded the Watermark Cruise.
Lunch before heading back. We found Mike's Crab House where we happened to meet up with our friends Laurie and Merle. Had no idea that they were taking the same trip....okay, we read the itinerary (not going to tell you how, though). Being a bit thirsty after seeing all that water, we chose to have a Blue Moon beer. We didn't get photo of what we ate, but you can probably see the food photos on either of their blogs. We did, however, take a photo with the person who served us.
Since we are not "pets", we ignored this sign. Here is a photo of the restaurant at it faces the water.
Back to New Yolk. Had a great time!!!
