Today is Wednesday, November 30th and I am having a hard time believing tomorrow is December 1st. Time seems to fly faster and faster. We did go to Bethesda for Thanksgiving and had a very relaxing, enjoyable visit. Of course we ate too much but had lots of leftovers and I have even made a pot of turkey rice soup since returning to the boat. The girls and I went shopping on Black Friday and hit Tyson Corner Mall at 8:00 AM. We got a front row parking spot and the mall wasn't crowded at all until later in the morning and we were able to pick up some amazing deals - 50% off everything in the store until noon, etc. We had a great shopping day.
I celebrated my birthday while there which made it even better. Chris took us to the Great Falls area which flows from the Potomac River and I didn't even know it existed. Mike and I came to the conclusion that we wouldn't live there even if someone gave us a house. We took Route 17 from Gloucester to Fredericksburg which was a lovely drive but then you pick up I-95 and the traffic is horrible! After visiting the Falls we went to Georgetown and walked around and then went to Serendipity to have a bite to eat and have their famous frozen hot chocolate. When we were in New York in August Lauren made sure we went there.
We've been back on the boat since Sunday and are falling back into a routine. We've decided to go to Dallas for Christmas to visit our other daughter Kelly and maybe a short trip back to San Antonio for a visit.
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
