A Sign Or Just A Sign?

Interesting weekend, didn't really do much, which was really needed. Slept in, hung around, played some golf, went for a walk, really nothing exciting..

The interesting part is this though. Saturday, we had someone coming to look at the house so the wife and I had to clear out for a bit. We decided that instead of going and walking around Target for an hour, we'd go for a walk someplace. Well that someplace ended up being Fort Knox, no, not that Fort Knox in Kentucky (obviously) but a Civil War era fort built a couple of towns over.

So we arrive around 11am, park the car and start walking down the hill from the parking lot to the fort itself. We round the corner and here's what we see...


Yeah, apparently there was a huge picnic being held for the adoptive and foster families of Maine. So the wife and I stumbled in on this, and just looked at each other and started laughing. There were kids EVERYWHERE, and it was great to see. Lately with nothing happening on the adoption front, we've been feeling a little distant from the whole subject, but this brought it right back to the front of our minds.

The only odd thing about the day had nothing to do with the picnic, just this guy I saw there with a tattoo of a tiger on his bald head..ouch..

We took some pics, so here you go. First one is of the fort from across the river...
This one is just taken from the fort, looking at the adjacent town of Bucksport. And yes, I do love the panoramic function on the camera...

Me, missing an arm somehow...

The wife doing her darnedest to push the cannon. I wanted to take a funny picture involving the stack of cannon balls in the background, but since there were so many kids around it was decided that I shouldn't be a bad influence.

All in all, it was a quiet but good weekend.
