Maryland

Jamie had to go back to Maryland for work for 10 days so I decided to go with him for the first few days. We flew out on Wednesday and I came back on Sunday. Jamie had to stay until the following Friday. Thursday Jamie had to work so I hung out at the hotel. Friday he worked in the morning but left me the car so I went to the American Chestnut Land Trust and went on a hike. It was a beautiful hike and it was nice to get out and try out my new camera.

After Jamie got home we drove out to North Shore. The beach was closed but we walked out on the boardwalk and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

Saturday we got up and headed into Richmond, Virginia. We started at the Civil War Museum. It was housed in the Tredegar building where a lot of the artillery for the civil war was produced. It was a cool building and the Museum was really interesting. It was right next to the river and we had a fun day just walking along the river and eating lunch at a small pizza place. On the way back to the hotel we happened to drive by the plantation where James Madison was born. It was next to a really pretty old church. So we stopped there for a few minutes. It was too late to take a tour but we walked inside the foyer. We also stopped by George Washington's birthplace. It was also closed for the night, but we got to see the mini Washington Monument that is located near it. It was a fun day. It is always good to just hang out with Jamie.
