Small Boat Shed

These are some scenes from the small boat shed at the

Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD.

This was probably my favorite part of the museum.

This boat was my favorite for lots of reasons.

I liked the rugged red paint, which is different.

And of course I loved the imperfections.

(This references the boat above.)

Yes, a person could easily while away hours in this museum, especially if that person's name is Chesapeake Bay Woman.

I highly recommend a visit to St. Michaels, Maryland, and the museum if you get the chance.

I also highly recommend not blinking your eyes if you ever have a baby.  Before you know it, you will have blinked three times and that baby will be an 18-year-old young man entering his senior year in high school.

Happy birthday to Chesapeake Bay Son, who continues to astonish me with his accomplishments, his abilities, his compassion and his zest for life.

I love you, CB Son.

Maritime Museum

Once upon a time, Chesapeake Bay Woman was introduced to 

the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, MD.

And it was love at first sight.

A two-hour boat ride brought CBW to this quaint harbor,

where she saw familiar sights that reminded her of Mathews County.

Not all of the sights of St. Michaels were like Mathews though.

There were a few things we wouldn't necessarily see here, such as a bustling

marina that put boaters steps away from the same restaurants available to 

the pedestrians walking around town.

This is the cutest tugboat face I've ever seen. Of course I've not seen that many in my life, but still.

Bustling marina notwithstanding, the museum proper felt like home.

I'll share more photos from my favorite part of the museum, the Small Boat Shed, next.

How was your weekend?
