A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Oxford

Pondering our time running out, about halfway to Oxford we decided to go a little further and head back to Solomon's Island.

So we stopped at the first fuel dock in Solomon's and tied up for the night.  Our plan was to leave early this morning for Tangier Island.  Ah, plans.

Last night we arrived just in time to clean up and go out for dinner.  Back in St. Michaels, I got the kids some badly needed new crocs.  Ryan loves foot pictures, it's his trademark.  In fact, if he were in charge of this blog, you'd see a lot more foot pictures.

Another Family portrait, can you tell things are going a little sour?

We found a swan on the way back to the boat, we fed her some bread.  She gobbled it up.  The kids loved it.  Almost everywhere we've been we've seen ducks, but this is the first swan.  Can anyone else hear the Tchaikovsy score?

After feeding ourselves, then the swan, we went back to the boat to get ready for bed.  Today was to begin early.  Alas, it was not meant to be.  By 9:00 p.m. both kids were sick.  I called the P.A. at my pediatrician's.  She's probably regretting giving me her cell phone number about now.  Anyway, they need prescription meds, so we'll wait for her to call those in and hoof it the 2 miles to the nearest CVS.  We are going to stay here another day and let everyone recover (I got precious little sleep myself so I plan to recover today as well).   I expect we'll all be fine tomorrow and we'll just head to Tangier Island then.

On a really funny note, the rejects from Jersey Shore are docked next to us and blasted loud music most of the night.  We are on the fuel dock, yet most of them sat around the fuel pump smoking.  I really wanted to wake up early this morning and blast loud music myself, but I was simply too tired.  I guess I'll look at the positive side - at least they didn't blow us all to kingdom come.
