A few weekends ago we left the hot, crowded city to visit Mark’s college roommate Bob and his family, who recently left Washington DC for remote lakeside Maryland.
|
Max made friends with Bob and Lori’s 2-year old daughter Sofie, who along with her parents, was an amazing hostess.

|
Max enjoyed watching Sofie and her cousins dance and run around. He played dress-up with them in their basement playroom and tried to learn the alphabet from this smart little girl.
|
Bob is very good at peek-a-boo .

|
Max was fascinated by the high ceilings and big staircase in our spacious accomodations, but his favorite feature of the place was the outdoor pool.

The nearest grocery store was a half hour away, so for Saturday night we caught crabs off the dock in the backyard.
 
|
Before catching the train back to NYC, we visited the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C, where Sofie gave Max lots of goodbye kisses.
