For many north of us on the east coast, Sandy was more than an adventure… it was a catastrophe. It was devastation. It was unlike anything I have ever seen first hand or experienced. So, I hesitate to even really blog about our adventure… b/c for us… that’s what it was, an adventure. An escape from the normal day to day living for a few days. A “Staycation” if you will.
Tonight the kids and I were enjoying a walk at the Naval Academy when we spotted a statue of their mascot, the goat, which prompted a rather comical discussion.
We talked about how the goats are the navy mascot, to which my 3 yr old responded, “But mom, goats aren’t scary.” I then said that the Army is afraid of them b/c when they play each other in sports (not war) then they are against each other and don’t want to lose to them.
It’s funny how a simple thing like dinner on a Wednesday night can have an dramatic impact on your life. 7 years ago we went out to dinner with another couple in downtown Annapolis on a Wednesday night. If you know anything about summer in Annapolis then you know that Wednesday nights mean sailing races. (Truth is I grew up around here and just learned that fact 7 years ago).
