Spent a couple days in Annapolis, MD, with Mary Castang and Sue Perry looking for the perfect crabs (which we found) and the Thomas Point Lighthouse (which we didn't find).
It all started at the 2002 Castang Family Reunion in Hagerstown, MD...
When Castang cousins Murpee and Sue were leaving the Reunion, Castang sister Rebecca said she really wanted to keep in touch. But with everyone living so far away, how could we do it without spending time and money traveling all over? Sue mentioned the traveling gnome. You know, the one from the Expedia commercials that travels for you. Rebecca said she didn't have a gnome, but how about a dollie she got one year for Valentine's Day? So now this dollie goes to different family members and we take her on our travels and send back the photos.
Why the name "Batesy"? At the first reunion the Uncles were calling each other "Bates". Since that wasn't very feminine, we changed it to Bates-y.
