Playing Baseball

Nathan and Dad enjoyed playing a little baseball in the evenings. My throwing arm isn't what it used to be, so I sat out most evenings. Here are a couple of baseball pictures from our trip to Mt. Vernon. We drove down the George Washington Parkway, which runs from No. Virginia to Mt. Vernon. There are several little parks along the way. We stopped and played a little catch and Dad and I went for a nice walk along the Potamac River.

More pictures

Here is a picture from Federal Hill in Baltimore. This was the first time I had been up there, but Dad, Carolyn, and Stew were there when The Forbes visited Dad in May. The Inner Harbor was very beautiful on this summer afternoon.

Fireworks

When it was time for the fireworks, we walked from our hotel to the Lincoln Memorial. We were sitting on the grass off to the left of the Memorial. The display was wonderful. It was even better than the fireworks we saw in Baltimore. Then we walked back to the hotel and had a great night sleep. We missed all the after firework traffic and Dad got to work on time the next day. (After dropping us off at his townhouse, Dad drove back to Downtown DC to have lunch with a client. Does any of this sense?)

Recap

I had better get back to keeping everyone updated on our trip back East. As far as I can tell all of us had a great time. Nate really enjoyed working with Dad. He has learned that money that you earn is more difficult to spend. He is definately more cautious on his purchases.
The guys went to York for 4 Saturdays to play basketball. They still have basketball after all these years. Nathan's arms are long enough so he can block some of the shots and make some steals. Dad says he still has a great jump shot.
Nate got to spend the night with Joe Abramson in Red Lion, too. The boys went to the movie, too.
We spent the 4th of July in Washington. We got a hotel room across the street from George Washington Univ. It was close enough that we could walk to the Mall. It was warm, but not too bad. A tornado warning was issued while we were back in the room cooling down, so we missed that excitement. After a nice rainstorm, the weather cleared and the fireworks went on as scheduled.

Happy Fourth of July to everyone:
Just a quick update of our doings on the East Coast. Thursday was the "big" Jimmy Buffet Concert at the Nissan Pavilion in VA. Dad and I had a great time. We now own ONE JB Cd. We really did enjoy ourselves.
Saturday afternoon we headed for Philadelphia to spend Sunday being tourists. We took a bus tour around the city, took lots of pictures, and had an authetic Philly Cheese Steak.
For the Fourth of July, we will be watching the fireworks in DC. What better way to spend the 4th.
Enjoy your 4th and be safe. Love, Mom and Dad
