We had the great pleasure of traveling to Maryland to stay with our friends Mark and Rosie a while back.  They are friends of ours from the UK who are currently in the US for work.  We spent the weekend with them and got to enjoy a part of Maryland that neither of us had spent much time in before.  They live down near where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay and there is plenty of water around you wherever you go.

As someone who grew up by the sea, I have always enjoyed being by the water.  A good local spot to visit is Solomon Island and we decided to head there for a walk around and a spot of lunch.  Since they have a boat, Mark and I decided to go by water while Nancy and Rosie took the car.  I wanted to have a blast about in the boat and Mark wanted to go a bit faster than he would if Rosie was aboard so this worked for all of us.
