Wedding: Sailing on the Bay
The Lady Sparkler’s bridesmaids threw her a little shower this weekend, and both sets of parents came into town for the event. For part of the weekend, we went to Annapolis for a sailing trip around the Chesapeake Bay on the Schooner Woodwind. The whole family and all of the bridesmaids joined us for the sail.Explore the Photo Set:

I grew up about 2 miles from Jamestown, the sight of the first permanent English colony in North America. Established in 1607, this year marks the 400th anniversary of the landing of the first three ships.As one would expect, there was a big to-do, with Queen Elizabeth II over from England, and President Bush II down from D.C. It was a three day affair, with a reenactment of the landing, concerts and all sorts of educational stuff at the State & National Parks that surround the landing site.
My parents still live those 2 miles away, and we all spent the weekend taking in the festivities.
