Thursday - Annapolis to Oxford, MD

 |
| Tina enjoying the calm water & reading |
 |
| Who can resist on a day like this? |
 |
| Heading into the little Oxford harbor |
 |
| This quiet little marina was a welcome change from Annapolis |
 |
| Tom & Tina rented bikes at the marina & we all headed into town to explore |
 |
| Oxford wasn't very big. Their claim to fame was the Inn and the Oxford picket fencing which originated here. |
 |
| This is a shot in the Vintage Inn, the oldest inn in America. It was 305 years old today! |

Dinner with Barry & Mimi Starke - Owners of "Middlespring", a 1600's plantation
Barry & Mimi are old friends of Tom & Tina who graciously invited us all to their home for dinner. It was a 20 to 30 minute drive to an old colonial plantation that was out in the middle of nowhere. They have meticulously restored it and were so kind to let us spend the evening with them!

| Part of the original 1600's home |

| All the fireplaces were restored to working order. This one was in the kitchen. |
 |
| Ever seen a fiberglass clawfoot jacuzzi bathtub? |
 |
| The lovely backyard |
 |
| Such gracious hosts! |
