Today I got the opportunity to walk at lunch and then again when I got home for a total of 8.37 miles today. My walk tonight was after dark, so I donned my reflective vest and took off for a 4 mile hike. Right at the halfway point as I turned to go back home, my dad called my cell phone to let me know that my stepmom had gone back into the hospital on Monday with an infection she has been battling. Apparently, she is on her way to recovery, but I think my dad was lonely at home by himself. When he realized that I was out walking, he was concerned that I was on the street by myself at night. So, he stayed on the phone for the rest of my walk, talking me all the way home. The only thing better than that would be if he was walking next to me. It's so sweet that my 82 year old dad, is still worried about his little girl not being home before dark.

So, today my Dad and I walked into Queenstown, Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. Strolled right down Main Street, checking out all the little tourist shops. We shared a big chunk of chocolate fudge with walnuts. Not as good as Traverse City's Murdicks fudge, but almost... you can't go wrong with chocolate fudge can you? We continued along the Bay, heading a little south toward the Chesapeake Bay bridge. Just 6 more miles to the on ramp. The bridge does not allow pedestrian traffic, so hopefully if the walking weather is good tomorrow, I'll get in the 6 miles so we can drive the 5th wheel over the bridge and camp at the Sandy Point State Park on the other side of the Bay.
