Maryland's 375th Birthday

Today the girls and I went on an adventure to St. Clement's Island. Our friend Holly and her two kids met us there. Yesterday I saw that there was going to be a 375th birthday thing at St. Clement's. Since I had never been there I thought why not. Holly and I were one of only three moms brave enough to bring children to a ceremony. It was very nice but 10 minutes into the hour long ceremony we took the kids for a walk. After it was over we thought why not stay for refreshments...I was blocked in at the parking lot anyway. Holly and her kids left so we hung around to see if the line got low enough to see the cake again. since we really couldn't leave yet. I warned Anna that we were not to expect cake (especially since it was a Charm City Cake) Once we got in there we ended up leaving with a piece to share. We got a piece with the 7 on it. Anna insisted on eating it. When there wasn't much left we decided that we should save a little for Daddy. The girls had a great time running around with there friends. They both fell asleep on the way home. For those of you that wonder what the Ace of Cakes' cake tastes like.... It is very yummy. The icing was divine. We had Pumpkin cake.
