A Trip Down Memory Lane

We arrived in Maryland yesterday for my cousin Michael's wedding.  Finley had a fantastic flight here, with Grammy entertaining her the whole way while Grandad and I got good naps in.  The landing was a bit crazy since we landed in a thunderstorm. 

Today we headed over with Mrs. Perry to the Annapolis Mall, one of my favorite spots as a kid.  The area near Hecht's (now Macy's) had a big fountain with steps all around.  The fountain has moved and there is now a bridge and a much smaller grouping of steps.  I remember running all around the fountain as a kid, my favorite part was running across the metal service panel because it made the loudest noise.  Finley was equally happy running up and down the ramp.

Grammy and Grandad went to Uncle Chuck's and Aunt Mary's for dinner, so Finley and I were on our own. Which meant we were heading to another childhood favorite spot of mine, Friendly's, to get Fishamajigs and ice cream sundaes. I decided to drive by the old K-Mart by Friendly's to see if the small carousel was still there, it is. So we parked so Finley could grab a ride, like I had so many times as a kid.


After that, we headed down to Friendly's for dinner and a Conehead sundae, in pink of course. Yum!
