One of Liz's favorite weeks of the year is Izzie Camp - a full week of travel, exploration and fun with the grandkids.  Due to COVID, travel was out of the question for our 2020 camp, so we improvised.  We did a day of sports challenges at home and then jumped aboard Hurry Sundown for some time on and in the water.

Day 1 - Back Creek to Herrington Harbor South.  We spent the afternoon at the beach and the kids took turns swimming and paddleboarding

Day 2 - Many, many hours at the pool. After dinner we walked to local store for ice cream, and returned to wait for the evening storms which drew the kids attention as they tried to capture photos of the lightning across the skies.

Day 3 - Many, many more hours at the pool.  We had a game night aboard complete with hot baked chocolate chip cookies.

Day 4 - We headed to the Annapolis Harbor where the kids got out their water guns and created their own pirate boat experience with Cappy's help.  They took turns riding the dinghy while being shot at by their cousins on the deck of Hurry Sundown.  They followed that up with jumps and dives off the deck of Hurry Sundown.  The evening was a success although we had hoped to see some racing boats come into the Harbor.  I guess that doesn't happen every Friday.

Day 5 - We spent a leisurely morning in the Annapolis Harbor.  Izzie took the time to attend a memorial service via Zoom (such a strange part of the 2020 world) while the kiddos played games before heading back to the dock.
