Mary Ann Visits from New England - Day #1 and some of Day #2

Our friend Mary Ann in Massachusetts needed a getaway weekend, she works two jobs, has two grown sons, and 2 grandchildren and never seems to get a break- so we made her take one and come visit us this weekend.
We picked her up from BWI Airport on Friday night, and it was a warm evening, but not terribly uncomfortable. After a nice dinner at Bob Evans, we came back home and Mary Ann and Rob took the dogs, Dolly and Franklin for a nice neighborhood walk. To wind down, Tom and Mary Ann sat on our front porch (later joined by Rob and the dogs) to watch the thunderstorms build up from the west and move in.

The next morning, Saturday, Tom and I (Rob) were up early with the dogs, and we wanted to let Mary Ann try and sleep. So we fed the dogs and took them out after 6am. Then Tom watered the garden. Here's a picture of Franklin (the dachshund) inside, looking at Dolly (on the patio) with Tom watering the garden in the far background.I liked this shot.
Later on Saturday, we were joined by friends Jeff and Gary and all drove to Baltimore to visit the Australian Navy ship that docked there. We learned about it through our friends Craig and Jim, who were also there, but we missed them.
