---------------------------------
Our typical 10 pm "In your own room" was a little earlier when as we introduced ourselves to the 4th floor of the hotel we found that some rooms had regular visitors staying. We asked all to try and be quiet and they all did a great job of keeping the noise down.
Another exciting day ahead with a beautiful forecast: sunny with highs in low 70's - perfect

Shields Tavern
Fun fact: Ms. Drino's brother in-law is related to James Shields. We learned about a duel that Shields challenged Abe Lincoln to: Shields was upset that Lincoln spoke poorly about him in the newspaper and wanted a duel. The duel never came to a head because both men's advisors saw the height difference between the two and knew the severity of the results, phew.
We dined on fresh roasted turkey and mashed potatoes, while some were chosen to learn the proper art of dancing in the 1700's.
