Greetings from Museums by Candlelight

Saturday was the Museums By Candlelight tour in Frederick, and also the start of the Pokemon Keldeo event and a surprise Elite Raid day, so after a trip to the post office to mail holiday cards and a raid at Povich Field, we ate lunch and drove to Frederick. Our first stop was the Delaplaine Arts Center, which has gorgeous quilts, photography, and local crafts, and is right along Carroll Creek where the lighted ships are, so we walked through the park. Then we went to the South Mountain Heritage Society, which had organ demonstrations, snacks, and local history exhibits. From there, we stopped at South Mountain Creamery to take pictures with cows and get eggnog. 

We had thought about going to Emmitsburg to the Seton Shrine and the big antique mall there, but there were inconsistent closing times on various web sites, so instead we went to the Dahlgren Chapel, where there was a celebration of South Mountain magic and local Cryptids. Our last stop was the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum, a German colonial stone house with woodwork and five plate stoves dating to the mid-1700s. Then we came home, saw Navy lose to Army, had parmesan chick'n, and watched Slumberland, which I thought was better than its reviews -- like Narnia mashed up with Inception with Jason Momoa as Mr. Tumnus. Photos from most of the above:
