Camping

Finally decided where to go this weekend - we're headed to Scotland. Scotland, Maryland, that is - off to Point Lookout State Park for some fishing (hopefully some crabbing) and some beach time. My new books from Amazon might arrive in the nick of time, at least I'm hoping they will. The USPS puts a delivery estimate of Augsut 21st on the package, but it was in Capitol Heights, MD yesterday, and it shouldn't take that long to get to my house - A parcel shouldn't take two weeks to go less than 20 miles.



We were going to head to West Virginia, since I wanted to check out the "Purple Fiddle" a cafe and live music venue built around the idea of kids being welcome for all shows. That place just sounds like heaven for me. You don't realise how difficult it is to tote a 5 year old to music that isn't free and outdoors - the WTMD First Thursdays concert season has saved us in years past, but we haven't been able to make any of those shows this year.



Still, next weekend is "Hot August Blues" at a park near us - $30 a ticket, but kids are free, and there's tons of workshops and stuff laid on for the little ones. http://www.hotaugustblues.com/ - looks like fun.
