Maryland has been beautiful for our family. The scenery is amazing. The place we are working at, Sandy Cove Ministries, is an amazing place for families to get together and worship, play, and relax.
Here are a few notes from our time here so far:
Dale & I drove out here, stopping to visit friends, and seeing what weird places we could find to stretch our legs at. How about a fireworks tent?

The trip out here was uneventful, except for one trailer tire malfunction.

Upon arriving in Maryland, one of our favorite places to eat is Rita's.

Then we all explored Elk Neck State Park, near Sandy Cove, with our friend Beth-Anne.

While visiting with our best friends, the Pribulicks, we played in a river, and did a family tradition of Deb's family: damming up a stream.

Sandy Cove has so much to offer the guests here, so we took advantage of much of it during the week before guests arrived, including a 9-hole disc golf course.

We decided to check out the premier of the final Harry Potter movie, but DIDN'T go opening night. When we DID go, however, we purchased the 3D glasses, and it was very cool.

One of the craft shop projects we put together was a giant spin-art machine. Craigslist put us in touch with the barn fan, and with a couple of hours time, we had a fully functioning spin art machine.

Then we took a one day trip to Washington DC, and the Smithsonian Institute.
