Of Crabs and Lobster

One of the best things about summer is attending an awesome cookout/crab feast. Another great summer fete was hosted by Joey B and wife Chris on Saturday. There were tons of good eats and lots of good friends -- and a celebration of daughter Katie's graduation from high school. No pics of all the crab eating, though. Nerts.



This guy was wondering where Nate was. Disturbing, I know.



Sunday morning, John and I got up early and headed to Burtonsville. John's parents' friend, George, had been bugging us to take the '33 Dodge up there for a weekly car show. We figured it would be like Wednesday night gathering at Three Brothers (maybe 10-20 cars) but this was pretty amazing for a bunch of people hanging out at the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot!



There were new and old cars. Hot Rods, classics, new Ford GT's, Ferrari's. And a beautiful morning to boot. Afterwards, we headed to my MIL's to switch the red '33 Dodge with the green '34 Ford (pics of that when we get it cleaned up a little). A few hours of relaxing at home and watching Kimi Raikkenon win the F1 race and we headed out for an early dinner.

In celebration of our 2-year wedding anniversary, we went to The Palm. Freddy had given me a gift certificate for my 40th birthday last year and I couldn't think of a better occasion to use it. Here's John getting ready to dig into his crab cakes:



I had lobster and we got desserts too (7-layer chocolate cake for me and peanut butter pie for John). Thanks, Freddy, for a wonderful belated 40th birthday dinner. Your constant generosity never ceases to amaze me!!!
