Anchors Aweigh Weekend

The countdown until we depart on our road trip to Annapolis is underway and the days are filled and flying by at the speed of life. This past weekend my BFF Marcia came down for a visit. Her visit was way too short but we did get to spend some time together and she was able to see Mr. A before he heads off to his big adventure.

Our weekend was jammed packed with dinner a cozy BBQ place, family going away party for Mr. A, family night at the movies, and USNA Parents' Club Welcome Aboard picnic. I think we're all pooped. I know I am!

Here are some photos from the party on Saturday:

Marcia and I made this banner the night before the party. We really should have split a bottle of wine first. We couldn't figure out if the ribbon should go over-under or under-over.

The Pastry Goddess did it again and made another fabulous cake. She re-created the USNA crest in sugar paste.

Miss K, Mr. A, and G-Man peeling and eating shrimp.

Marcia threatened me if I put this photo on Facebook. So it's here instead.

Marcia and her admirers.

The cake was delicious!
