We’re off on our new adventure! Parentals Going South This Time!  #PGSTT

I don’t know why I always get a new camera right before I go on a trip but that’s how it happens. This results in some missed and/or badly composed shots at first.

Exhibit A

Friday, November 1st to Sunday morning, November 3rd 

We load everything we own (at least it seems that way) into Our V and take off much later than we had planned. Heading South to Silver Spring, MD for Shabbos.  We're in such a rush I forget to take a picture.  

We can't take the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel in Our V and try to force Waze to redirect. Only options are "Avoid freeways", "Avoid toll toads", "Avoid ferries", "Dirt roads - avoid long ones", and "Avoid difficult intersections".  Note to Google: Add "Avoid tunnels".

Very cool Frances Scott Key Bridge 

Excellent time with Ina and Larry! 5* hospitality as usual. Thanks for a lovely Shabbos.

Taking advantage of civilization while we still can. 

Bakery Café Silver Spring

Our V is Established as a Place of Learning as of Yesterday

I felt like olive oil might have been called for... 

But the olive oil wasn't loaded till today. 

Pacman Parking Spot

Who knows where this is? 

Wouldn't Want to Mow this Lawn

Saw this in my draft folder. From July 2015.  Somewhere in Maryland. 

We were on our way to visit Aryeh when he lived in DC. 
I remember we walked from his apartment to see the fireworks on the Mall on July 4th. 

Will Possibly Need to Come and Re-check in 2035

Came across this weird monument along Rt 86 near Whiteface Mountain

Will need to re-check in 2035 

Unless of course, there is a shopping mall here then

Loyal Order of Moose

We had a lot of fun with this - 

"I pledge to be loyal to the Moose, the whole Moose, nothing but the Moose..."

No disrespect meant to this organization that does so much good
"The Loyal Order of Moose is a fraternal and service organization founded in 1888 with nearly 650,000 men in roughly 1,600 Lodges in 49 states and four Canadian provinces, plus Great Britain and Bermuda.Along with other units of Moose International, the Loyal Order of Moose supports the operation of Mooseheart Child City & School, a 1,000-acre community for children and teens in need, located 40 miles west of Chicago; and Moosehaven, a 70-acre retirement community for its members near Jacksonville, FL. Additionally, members of the Moose conduct approximately $70 million worth of community service (counting monetary donations and volunteer hours worked) annually.The Loyal Order of Moose organizes and participates in numerous sports and recreational programs, in local Lodges and Family Centers in the majority of 44 State and Provincial Associations, and on a fraternity-wide basis.  Lodges across the Fraternity are known for creating life-long bonds between members through activities and a shared concern for children in need, seniors and the communities in which they live.

Canadian Deer vs US Deer

Canadian Deer

US Deer 

US deer are clearly more energetic than Canadian. Could it be because marijuana is legal in Canada?

Amateurs ...

Successful Launch of Our V !

Just got back from a terrific trip in Our V!

The Stars are Amazing in New Mexico!

This is a photo of the night sky in New Mexico taken with my camera. Unfortunately, my camera is not amazing.  

But my camera was able to get this shot.

Gender Identity - Bathroom Post

Never saw this before. Guess it might come in handy when there is a long line for the ladies room.

Seen at the Jewish Museum, NYC
