Last one for MD

A day and a half left in MD... Officially homeless for the next few weeks, we're  looking forward to going back to the Islands,  but let's talk about MD first.  Mike and I both agree how much we'll miss this place.  I remember that it was nearing the end of winter when we first got here, 3 1/2 years ago.  There was still snow on the ground. It seem like everything looked gray and sad.

We were walking around in our not so thick jackets and our slippers.  We looked strange and out of place.  

The boys didn't know what to do when they first saw snow.  They're used to playing with sand.

I still remember our first sunny day. We decided to drive to the beach.. to Ocean City. It took us 3 hours to get there and when we got there, it was raining..and it continued to rain a lot on our way back home plus there was thunder and lightning. Needless to say, it was a very disappointing beach experience.

Spring came.  We couldn't believe our eyes.  That gray, sad looking place just turned so alive and beautiful.  We took tons of spring blossom pictures..

Summer was spent a lot in the pool with great friends...

fun times

 Fall.. Fall here is just beautiful!..

Winter came again, it was cold but this time we were dressed more warmly and we adapted to East Coast fashion. 

we survived the blizzard of 2010

We can't believe how time flew by and we're about to say goodbye to this place.  A lot of special memories... We met a lot of great people here whose friendship we will cherish forever. It was a  blessed 3 1/2 years... Goodbye MD, until we meet again!...
