Tue started the day early by picking up our rental car - a grey Grand Marquis with lots of room for our little traveling party. We packed up and headed for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum, which turned out to be an excellent place - both for kids and for grown ups! They exhibited the most incredible steamengines - one of them 100 foot long! - and had trains in all sizes and from all times. Sebastian was SO happy - he ran into the grand 'remise' and kept on shouting "it's just perfect, it's just perfect". We ended up in the shop bying a little black steam engine toy for him, which he "loves" and has taken with him into bed. Great succes!
We drove off south (it must get a bit warmer the further we get ;-)) and crossed the Bay Bridge by Annapolis. We had booked a hotel in St. Michaels, which is a quiet, very nice marina in the Chesapeake Bay area. We have got the coolest suite right onto the pier - 20 feet off the water. We took a little stroll in the afternoon and discovered road after road of small (in American terminology!) wooden houses, almost all of them with patios and a rocking chair or two. Very neat!
We decided to take our dinner in the room - knowing that this is the place in the whole area with the best view! The menu was crab-cakes and Ceasar salad - yummy!
