tomatoes and olives

"i find the sea-life an acquired taste, like that of tomatoes and olives." -- ralph waldo emerson, english traits

lunch at the chart house in alexandria, va allowed us a leisurely time to catch up and enjoy a sunny capital day on the water, with yachts and ferries interspersed.  one of these visits i have to find time to ply the potomac waters and journey to chesapeake bay.  it was a wonderful time to celebrate AnnaStacia's birthday!!  we missed JMA/JEA but had quality time with Maura and Jenna and parents.  i'm glad they kept the light on for us!
