Carl took time off work and they saw the sites of Washington D.C.
Then another day while I was at work they went to see a couple of movies. We met for lunch at my brother's favorite place to eat while visiting us--Red Robin Gourmet Burgers.
Carl returned to work, and I took time off and my brother and I spent a day in Baltimore...
We enjoyed the inner harbor....
and we visited the National Aquarium.
Here's a little video I took of the sting-rays being fed--They were fun to watch and to me they looked like they were smiling.
Toby is smiling too--Not because 'Jeff' is gone, but because we had a good visit with him.
I have to admit that we're all a little worn out...
I'm looking forward to relaxing, watching the Olympics and catching up on your blogs! I hope you're enjoying your weekend!!
lovely photos! nice to have you back
