And Another Week Gone By!

​My long weekend with a good friend drew to an end. The last couple of days were spent back in Maryland at National Harbor.  All of the locations we visited were new to me. The only down side to all the delicious food and good company, were the six pounds that came home with me uninvited! LOL.  I did manage to lose three of them already but I have a feeling the other three pounds are going to be a little more resistant – we’ll see.
 
So here you have a few more photos – but first – un update on the new series – still no release date but I was able to get a good deal of writing done on book four – so that’s something. I just wish I knew more about endangered Texas wildlife – all the research is slowing me down. If anyone is, or is related to, or knows an environmentalist, please let me know!
 
Okay the photos -  First off - I discovered Kettle Corn - and Love it. Can't go to the shores of the north east without having a 'lobstah' roll - delish! and you can't go to Pennsylvania without having a cheesesteak sandwich.  Seeing why a few extra pounds came home with me ? lol.

There were also some lovely and often curious sites to see. On our way to National Harbor we drove through a small PA town that I would seriously hate to have to spell out on a return address envelope LOL.  On the other hand I'm sure a lot of romance authors would love it! 

The curious part is the sand statue - this Giant rises rather unpleasantly from the sand. I must admit I stared at it a good long time. And of course - more food! This time it was a Kentucky bourbon butter cake - awfully good and thankfully no taste of bourbon! 

I'll spare you more food photos (though I almost added what I call the kitchen sink sandwich but just looking at all those calories adds inches to my hips! LOL)  - but I do want to share the harbor at night. 

the first night I caught a glimpse of the ferris wheel at sunset and knew that the second night I needed to catch a photo - an absolutely amazing and peaceful sight. Oh and as a plus, ran into a couple from Paris and got to practice my French. Don't get to do that terribly often! 

I shall leave you with this last photo - and maybe next week I'll have more kitchen photos!
