Mildred Belle, 4th of July post!

"Day 8 of our journey to explore the Chesapeake Bay was filled with joy and excitement from the students and from everyone else in Annapolis. It was the 4th of July! Our first activity of the day was to canoe from Granary Creek to Dividing Creek. At first I didn't know what to do because it was my first time canoeing but after a few modifications in how to row the paddles, my canoe partner and I were in complete sync. After we made it to Dividing Creek, we hiked around and saw a 275-year-old holly tree. It is a rarity to see a holly tree that old. Then we canoed back to our campsite and off to the boat we went. After a five-hour boat trip to Annapolis, Maryland, some of us noticed a small parade going on. I enjoyed it because of the choice of music and their performance. Later that night we set up our tents and had a good night's dinner of burgers, fries, and rice & beans, followed by a dessert of watermelon and pie. That was a good dinner we had, I had two burgers. To wrap up the night we got to the fireworks and talk with the friends we have made on this trip."
