Fun Last Minute Picnic at Fort McHenry

This weekend we did a lot of things around the house, so when the Monday holiday (Labor Day) arrived - we had a nice breakfast outside (it was 60F at 7am!) on the back patio, then watered the new trees, did housework, walked the dogs and got a call from friends Steve and Jane who suggested a picnic @ Fort McHenry shortly thereafter! So, we gathered the dogs, treats, water, and grabbed lunch to bring. The temperature was about 85F and the cool breeze off of Baltimore Harbor made for a perfect couple of picnic hours. We also walked the dogs around the perimeter of the park and saw the new large visitor's center under construction. We posed for pictures in front of the Fort, as we have favorites taken there from 2006 and 2008. Seems like every 2 years we get great family photos taken there. This year was no exception (see below) and we got some great pictures of Jane and Steve! It made for a great and very memorable holiday.
