Last week we helped Sister Christiansen with the Zone Conference Luncheons, which is always alot of fun.  We served BBQ chicken sandwiches on Tuesday to the Winchester WV Zone; Wednesday clam chowder and taco soup to the Martinsburg, VA Zone; Thursday stuffed baked potatoes to the Frederick, MD Zone; and Friday BBQ chicken sandwiches to the Annapolis, MD Zone.  Yesterday we served clam chowder and taco soup to the Baltimore Zone and today we drove to Williamsburg, Virginia for Thanksgiving.

On Saturday, Lindsay flew in to have Thanksgiving with us, but first we had some things to do.  Sunday she went to Church with us to the Brooklyn Park Branch.  She met most of the people we have included in previous blogs.  On Monday, we went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, and Elder and Sister McCabe took us on a tour of the facility.  Below are some pictures.  I was impressed with the scale models of sea vessels in the museum.  There were at least 100 of them.  Tuesday, she helped us with the Baltimore Zone luncheon.

We left about 1315 hrs for Baltimore's Inner Harbor.  We took the light rail from the North Linthicum station to Camden Point and walked to the visitor center.  The guide told us about the free bus system in the inner city, so we took advantage of it and did some sightseeing.  We concluded our sightseeing at Vaccaro's Bakery in Baltimore's Little Italy section.  The place came highly recommended from one of Lindsay's friends, who said the eclairs was to die for.  Well, it was pretty good and huge, but cost $7.00.  Irene bought an little Italian Pie and a cannoli for $7.00.  I bought some cookies and the cost was $22.50.  OH MY GOODNESS!  For Monday night's dinner, we had a pastry party.

I'll include pictures in the blog tomorrow, because the internet here is really slow and no pictures are uploading right now.  As I said earlier, we are in Williamsburg, VA, and this is a pretty cool place.  I'll include pics of this place as well.
