December had us out and about more than usual. Here are a few of them, including a few animal encounters. Our first outing was to attend a retirement party for a friend on a restaurant boat as it floated up and down the Potomac River. You can see the lights of Washington, DC here when we took a short, brisk walk around the deck. Because it was dark outside and we were moving slowly you could hardly tell you were on a boat from inside. This was empasized when putting on our coats to make this little jaunt around the deck--our hostess asked us if we were leaving already 😊. . . .
