Maryland and Delaware County Trip

B is of course itching to get all the new counties we live by now, so last Saturday we went on a little county trip. It was especially exciting because the kids all got two new states (Maryland and Delaware), B got Delaware and we all finished Delaware (since the state only has three counties).


We started off at the Washington DC Temple in Maryland.



Next was the Maryland State Capitol in Annapolis.



Then across the Bay Bridge (super exciting for Buddy) and the Chesapeake Bay (hooray, our first near glimpse of an ocean in years) into more Maryland... then Delaware and the Capitol in Dover. Fun fact about Delaware, is has more people in it than Wyoming. Who knew?? And no sales tax. On the way back, in Sassafras, MD, we had to stop for a draw bridge. If there wasn't also a super long suspension bridge and a tunnel on this trip, Buddy would have for sure picked the draw bridge. It was a toss up. That top corner picture of Buddy was taken as we're watching the draw bridge go up.

We also documented Baby X's left handed tendencies as he sat in the backseat "coloring." He's been throwing and eating with his left hand lately.
