Sept 15-16, Solomons Island boat race

September 15 - 16

Solomons Island, on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Patuxent River, combines history, attractions, dining options and marine service which we took advantage of.
Ken found a service man that came by to pick up the dingy motor to work on the carburetor.
We took the scooters into town and quickly discovered why this is considered a great vacation destination. That weekend we happened to luck into the Art Fair at the Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park and the cigarette boat race. We had a full day attending both and enjoying the beautiful weather. Thousands of spectators poured into town for these events. Sunday afternoon we rode the scooters to Ruddy Ducks, a sports bar, and watched the Dallas Cowboys lose.   


 
Hundreds of vendors were at the Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park Art Fair.
                                                    

 
And they're off!!!  We watched the races from the river walk.
