Lunch with Squire Frederick at Middleton Tavern n Annapolis, Maryland

The best part of my visit to Annapolis is about to start. ...  Lunch with my cousin Rick, aka Squire Frederick, the Annapolis Town Crier.





Squire Frederick takes Eric
& me to Middleton Tavern.

Established in 1750

Members of the Continental Congress

ate & drank here in 1783 & 1784,

Middleton Tavern hosted George

Washington, Thomas Jefferson

& Benjamin Franklin.

I imagine the conversations that echoed off the walls here.

It\s very busy here
at lunchtime.

Eric's Tiller Brown Ale by

16 Mile Brewery & my

& my Kendall Jackson

Chardonnay.

There's a lot of family

news to catch up on....

Eric & I fueled up on

Fish & Chips.

We all passed on the

dessert offerings.

After a long, leisurely lunch with a lot of laughs, I collected some hugs.  Eric and Rick, shook hands. We opened our "rain sticks" to protect us from the rain and waved goodbye..
