Crabbier and crabbier

Faithful blog followers (if you are out there...)

I'll be on vacation with the family for the next couple of weeks so I'll be posting even more infrequently than I already do. We'll be in Salisbury MD for a bit and then in our Nation's Capital for about a week.

We have had an excellent start to our vacation so far. We enjoyed a very nice 50th anniversary party for Ed and Ellen Thress and have been staying with my wife's aunt and uncle. We went to church at Bethany Lutheran in Salisbury on Sunday and enjoyed our time there. It was the first time in a long time that I was able to sit with the family and help Amanda wrangle some kids. I think she enjoyed that aspect!

Sunday night we made our yearly trip to Old Mill Crab House in Delmar DE. I had the all you can eat crab special. The corn was great. The clam strips were good. The fried shrimp was good. The hush puppies were great. The crabs were outstanding! They were so full. The ones you wanted were not the biggest, but you picked the heaviest ones. According to the local Salisbury newspaper, the crab population in the Bay is the highest it has been since 1997.

Today we are going to Pocomoke to see the new Delmarva Discovery Center, which includes an Eastern Shore specific aquarium. We'll be going with our friends, the Thress', who are also in Salisbury visiting family. Tomorrow we'll all go to Ocean City together to walk the boardwalk, eat some fries, build a sandcastle, and play in the arcade.

More later.
