This morning I woke up at 8:15, went to pee, and crawled back into bed. Just because. It was nice to sleep in until almost 10, and I woke up in time to get my 9am steps in.
We were drinking coffee and Doug said he wanted to go to the farm stand and get some things, so I got showered and we got out the door before noon. We went to the local farm stand but they are closed on Sunday. So we went around the corner to another one, got peaches and some black raspberries that were very very ripe and marked down for fast sale.
Then we headed into downtown because there is a farmers' market only Doug mistook the day it runs. They run Saturdays, not Sundays. So we continued to drive, and went on an adventure. We went through the north part of town where it gets very farmy very fast, up into Pennsylvania and an area called Rouzerville. We drove up mountains and into the clouds. Everything was grey and the layers of green trees and clouds and mountains was very pretty.
We ended up in Emmitsburg, MD and it was lunch time, so we decided to stop in at a restaurant that promised beer and food and atmosphere. But they're on vacation until July 9th. Doh. Okay, what else is in town, and Chris has to pee.
Nothing. There was a pizza parlor, closed on Sunday. Another sandwich shop, closed for vacation.
Thanks Emmitsburg, you're a jerk.
We got in the car to head down Rte 15 south. We were intrigued enough to stop at The Grotto behind The University at Mount Saint Mary's, but the parking lot was packed and it was crazy busy so we basically turned around and left and went back south on 15.
Hungry.
We hit Thurmont where there was a brewery but the internet told us they close at 2pm on Sunday. How's that a thing! So we ended up at a Family Restaurant, with a buffet. So we stopped. The parking lot was packed, but the dining room was pretty empty. I guess there was some giant bowling league awards event so that's what all the cars were.
The food was not great but I was starving and I ate it. Everything was like cafeteria food. The fried chicken was like what. you'd get in a Swanson's hungry man dinner. Green beans should not disintegrate when poked with a fork. The desserts were basically grocery store pies. But I did have some.
Doug wanted to figure out the back way home, we headed down towards Frederick, and he headed back into the mountains. He wanted to figure it out himself and I was watching google maps on my phone, giggling.
Eventually he said 'Waze me home, this is stupid,' and we were a couple miles north of the interstate and headed back easily. Tons of traffic, we could have figured out the mountain route but it was easier to do this.
Doug took a big nap, I took a big walk. It looked like it would rain at any moment so I wanted to get this done. I may have figured out my 5k route for practice, basically if I add another block around and loop around that neighborhood that's another mile.
I won't be doing that any time soon, though. It is supposed to get way up into the 90s and even 100s here. I'll be using the treadmill and taking it way easy inside.
At the restaurant, they had slippers and PJ pants with dogs on them. I thought I got the picture of the slippers, but, I did get a picture of the PJ pants, thankfully. Digits below (things are wonky because I slept in, and then forgot to bring my meds with me for lunch time).
