Avalon Area of Patapsco State Park that is.

Enric, Miranda, and Silas are still in town. Enric and Miquel decided to go mountain biking and Miranda and Laura went hiking. I got to spend some time with Silas.

Silas climbed mountains at the playground there.

Here, I show off my great grandparenting skills as I take photos of Silas falling off a swing. :)

Next, we thought we’d impress Mr. Dolphin (or as Silas calls him, Dolph), and show him Silas hugging a tree.

Later we headed to the river, and Silas found a great place to play.

Throwing rocks was fun!

Silas found a great big rock and was very happy.

Upon leaving the park, I got to get a closer look at the Thomas Viaduct. It was completed in 1835 and is the world’s largest multiple arched stone railroad bridge with an arc.
