Fish Market & Sweeping The Living Room

(heavy sigh)

Yesterday, The Engineer took me to DC super early to see the Cherry Blossoms. The blossoms weren't out so we stopped by the Fish Market under the bridge. We were the only people there, other than hard working fishermen/pirates.

The Engineer has been before but I haven't - what a fun and crazy place! Mimi talked about her market days; she would take the Little Engineer to the Watergate for a haircut, catch up with Mr. Beck, then hit the market on the way home. The way she talked about it made me think it was one of her happiest memories.

We walked away with a half bushel of Chincoteague oysters for $40 - man they were good.

Back at the cree and before we could get to the oysters, we had to clean up; that was hard. The kids down the road asked if they could have our blue porch .... had to say OK ... where's that one is going? At the end of a hard working day, it was beer and oysters for whoever was on the creek.

NOTE: Looks like Dead Man's Tavern is up and running too. JZ has many surprises in store for migrant boaters this year ....
