Today we went to Annapolis for Jacob to run his second annual Ripley Race 5K!! Danny was off in Florida having a grand ole' time at the beach with some friends, so I got up and took Jacob, Hannah and Nate (a friend of Jacob's - whose dad coincidentally also happens to be in Florida!)
It was a bit cold and breezy, but otherwise it was a beautiful autumn day with a wide array of colors on the trees, blue skies, and a wonderful feel in Annapolis as you drive through with all the fall decorations, and the yachts floating in the harbor. Absolutely perfect day.
Jacob in front of the Navy Marine Corp. Stadium, where the run started and finished. The runners got to run through the cobbled streets of Annapolis, in front of the courthouse, down by the marina, past the Naval Academy, absolutely all the best spots in Annapolis.
Jacob and Nate AFTER the race.
Afterwards we went to Middleton Tavern, a tradition for us. We have gone there to eat after every one of Jacob's 5K runs or shooting matches that were in Annapolis. It is a very old, historic Irish pub-like place that serves delicious meals!

I am beyond grateful for the friendship these two share.
