Happy Independence Day, America!!

We wanted to spend today in a small town with traditional celebrations. Solomons, MD did not disappoint. In the morning, we attended a ceremonial raising of the flag with many great speeches of local politicians, pastor and citizens.  

For breakfast, Katie made a tasty Bundt Quiche. 

Midday, we watched a boat parade from the bow on Silver Linings. There was about 40 boats fully decorated with patriotic flags and people waving.

We went for another dingy ride today. This time Harley joined us, he was a little hot but he loved it! Afterwards we went and got ice cream and rode the free trolly around town.

For dinner, we cooked burgers on the grill in our flybridge with Silver Linings and enjoyed their company. At dark, Solomons fireworks did not disappoint. Jen took some beautiful firework pictures. And of course we had our annual cherry pit spitting contest. The Silver Linings crew did great 🙂

It was a perfect day.
