Care to join us?

Night one at the Rockfish Bar in downtown Annapolis. Justin was getting tricky so I slapped him a good one. It didn't deter him.

The Rockfish fishtank and my girly friend Mandy. She and her husband Lucas (who begged off of any blog coverage -- strange, right? It's like he's...private!!) were the perfect traveling partners for Justin and I.

My first ever bloggy friend meetup with Robin of Not Ever Still. We weren't very still, either, but we WERE instant friends. Wonderful.

Chesapeake Bay with this jokester who'd just pretended to stumble off the dock. He's funny that way.

The harbor at the Naval Academy, which had a very cool visitor's center/museum, where Justin decided he should've joined the Navy. I heartily agreed, except for the whole 'deployment' issue.

Gussied up for the wedding at the Port Annapolis Marina.

Enjoying rum punch with Sarah-Marie, one of my craziest high school cohorts.

Oh, the ceremony. Sandwiched neatly between a 'preception' and the reception, the vows were said with both humor and feeling. I was giddy with happiness for Danni and Cesar.

Still giddy, but now with choked back tears.

Lovely, ain't so? She and her mom made that dress, by the way.

Speaking of high-school cohorts...From left, Annie, Danni, Mandy, and the oddly non-y ending name, Sarah.

The Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery.

Rows and rows, acres and acres. Sobering.

Our favorite museum of the day, Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History.

He's a hoot. Le sigh.

The Lincoln Memorial. Waaaaay too far away.

We finally reached the Washington National Monument, by which point my feet were screaming obscenities at me.

But it's okay, because I'd been doing the same to them for hours. New shoes plus walking the Mall equals a cussing Heavenly Sarah.

It wouldn't be a trip to DC without having seen the White House, right?

There was more...

so much more...

but my camera skills

(namely the battery charging portion of those skills...)

were lacking.

Finis.
