What a great way to spend a few days of vacation! Annapolis in October is beautiful, and the boat show is amazing.
I learned a lot, and will plan to go again in the future. Someday, I’ll get to attend on my own boat.

Enjoy!
Sometimes you get lucky. I was able to catch a cool clip of our local neighborhood fireworks in slow motion. Enjoy with sound on if you can.
Happy New Year!
Here’s the finale!
