Theme 28: On the Move

This week’s theme was “On the Move“. The in-laws were in town for the standard three birthday plus father’s day celebration. As part of that celebration my father-in-law wanted to go on a right down the C&) Canal in Georgetown (more photos here).

I wasn’t sure what to expect… All I knew is that we would be on a boat in the canal which would be pulled by “donkeys”. Well the “donkeys” turned out to be mules and the boat was actually a barge. A few men and one woman (pictured) commanded our vessel dressed in period 1870s garb and gave us a bit of a history lesson during the hour(ish) ride. The highlight of the trip was being raised and lowered in a canal lock which moved our multi-ton barge 8 feet straight up and down.

   It’s more of a blog than “blogs” I’ve posted in the past…and it’s better now than never right? Or maybe it’s better never.
