me and my sis
Serenada got left behind in Church Creek, while we enjoyed a land vacay courtesy of Margaret, who lives in Alexandria, Virginia; a historic port city very near Washington, DC.
Ah, the comforts of returning to land life … real showers, TV, a dishwasher, going out for a stroll, not being in the same room together and always … topped off by being spoiled with dinners and wine, and Margaret's good company. Loved every second of it.
We played tourists in Washington for a day, ascending the clock tower for a view of the National Mall, poking around the Trump Hotel, visiting some of the Smithsonian Institute and the sculpture garden.

Margaret gave us use of her second vehicle (she has a 'staging van' to help in presenting properties for sale) which we took advantage of to tour Old Town Alexandria, as well as load up on provisions for the boat.
Behind us, the dinghy's trunk is overflowing
I'm a real sap when it comes to saying good-bye, and needless to say I shed a few tears when it was time to be on our way again.
