Under the pretense of celebrating Catherine's birthday, we loaded up the van and took a mini road trip yesterday - it was really just a good excuse to get out and explore our little corner of Maryland, but we had a good time celebrating, too.
We had to pick up Leah from a girl scout camping event, and we hit the road right after that. Catherine found a nice place to have lunch, and then we made our way to Mt. Airy to start the Old Main Street scenic byway drive.
Because we had a bit of a late start - and to give the kids plenty of time to do a bit of homework and unwind - we only hit the Mt. Airy to Winchester leg of the journey.
At Winchester, we stopped for an ice cream cone (delicious) at Hoffman's, and then drove up the road to the Carroll County Farm Museum, where we got the last tour before the place closed...and almost crashed a wedding held on the grounds.
The photo of Leah, below, is from right outside the former Almshouse (think working farm as a precursor to modern day welfare system).
We got home in time to catch some football, and I used the setting sun to get a couple of photos of Catherine. The one below is from our front porch.
This one is from the back deck - going for the strong back lighting like I did with Ian the other day.
Have a great day - and happiest birthday wishes to Catherine!
Marc
