Saturday, November 16, 2013 Jessup, MD  47 degrees, raining
So not exactly sailing but driving back is a part of it.  We left sleepy Southport Friday at 10 am.
 Picture of Mazu at sundown Friday over the Cape Fear River inlet and the ICW.   Way in the background is Bald Head Island.
  We left Shawnee to be fixed and checked out.

As we drove north there were numerous crops.  Most people from the north haven't seen cotton harvested or even growing on its prickly sticks.  Here's a harvested field with a "bale of cotton."

Last night we were in a Red Roof Inn, a national chain. Super cheap, mostly we're here because they are pet friendly. This one has not been reported to the Bed Bug Registry.  Something I highly recommend if you are going anywhere.  Check it before you book it.
  We miss the sailing and just the boat life already as we hit the 5 -8 traffic rush out of DC on a Friday evening, back to the work-a-day world.  We are running into every chain store/ big box you've ever heard of.  But we ate at Madeleine's Bistro, country French Cafe that was pretty good.  Off to New York where maybe you'll see a picture or two of the grandkids.  We are going to a benefit auction at Tate's school Saturday night with Dillon and AJ, Violet's first birthday Sunday, back to Exeter Monday.
