Such a lovely, quaint town. And after months of searching, we finally found the most WONDERFUL authentic "get-your-bib-on-cause-this-is-gonna-be-messy" Maryland crab house... Jimmy Cantler's Riverside Inn. Complete with picnic tables, water views, and mmm... mmmm... MD blue crab.

The neighborhood is so pretty! And green. And safe. Not to mention a shorter commute for Meg and a more manageable rent. So we signed the lease last night and we're very excited about being able to breathe easier in our new 'hood. Moving date is on/around July 1. It has a huge, open living room, sun porch, two large bedrooms, 1.5 baths (only semi "icky")and a kitchen (not suited for foodies)... but the spot for grills and the garden plot in the back makes up for it all! Here's a video below. Visitors are welcome!<br /><br />Love,<br />Aunt Meggie &amp; Uncle John<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
