The rest of the weekend

The whole point of this trip was to have a Crab Feast with friends from high school. For those of you who do not know the art of 'picking crabs', it's a Maryland tradition where the crabs are steamed whole with lots of Old Bay seasoning and you crack them open and pick out the meat... while socializing and drinking beer!! :-) My parents went all out in the party planning department (as usual) and we had a great time! Leah made me a birthday cake for dessert and they actually lit 30 candles and everyone sang! That was fun.

The drive home today was rough. What usually takes us 5 hours took us 6 1/2 today. We left at noon when we usually leave around 10 or so... I think that made a difference in DC traffic. Next time, we'll leave at 10 and then stop at lunchtime to stretch our legs. Noah was a trooper sitting in the car for that long. Brandy rode home with us too, so she was in the back keeping him company!

Here are the rest of the pictures from the weekend....
