Mothers’ Day

13 May 2018

Happy Mothers Day everyone!! Hope you enjoyed your day.

I was driving from Maryland to Atlantic City and can you believe I was looking for a fridge magnet for Delaware. I did finally find one without a run in with the Military or NSA.

Driving from Maryland to New Jersey I turned off the toll and motorways routes and once again found a gem of a town, Port Deposit. Even though the weather went from 32C (90F) yesterday to 11C (51F) and it was overcast I still enjoyed this charming town with a population of 650.

There are so many river and railroad towns that are part of the Civil War history and Port Deposit was one which was bypassed and had no damage.

Some of the homes.

The Paw Paw House

The Cactus Rose has a warning to unruly children.

The Water Witch Fire Station

I arrived at Atlantic City New Jersey and as this is a casino town, it is open 24 hours. I stayed in the Claridge Raddison, a hotel steeped in 1920s history.

I went to the rooftop bar and met this lovely family Marie, Juan and Wilber celebrating Mothers’ Day. Juan is from the Dominican Republic (DR) and I couldn’t resist asking his wife if she would permit me to dance bachata with her husband, as DR is the home of bachata. The barman put on latino music for us and we had some fun. This was the highlight of my Mothers’ Day.with Marie filming us.
