Annapolis, MD - Couch Potatoes

So last Friday night we decided to finally see some new movies. Well, new to us anyway. So we looked up the nearest Blockbuster which was only a mile and a half away. Well worth the walk. We ended up renting like nine videos and basically spent all weekend hibernating on the boat working our way through them. Some were overrated (King Kong, for example. Okay, we GET it...everything on the island is big...) but others were really good (Walk the Line, A History of Violence). It was nice to take a break and just veg out in front of the TV.

Of course, that's not all we did. Since my parents are coming to visit we had a long to-do list to get ready. So we spent at least a part of each day working through that: finish cleaning up the oil in the bilge, fill up water tanks, clean the boat, and most importantly -- find a place for them to park the rental car. Annapolis is crazy with respect to parking spaces. There are no free parking spaces in the town - everything is metered or decal. So we went over to the Eastport side and hopefully found a nice place for them to meet us after their flight and park the car. They arrive at 2am tonight, so I am looking forward to seeing them and watching the fireworks in Annapolis from the boat. (We originally planned on going to DC for fireworks but decided it would be too crazy). Happy Fourth of July everyone!
