BALTIMORE a.k.a. "Bawlmer!"

Last Saturday, we went to the Inner Harbor to see the National Baltimore Aquarium along with a few other hundred girl and boys scouts. The outing was sponsored by Lauren's Brownie Troop. The kids had a great time and Cole saw his first dolphin show! He giggled with delight seeing them swim around prior to the show starting and then 15 minutes in; off he wanted to go, attempting to climb over the stadium seating. No, not even a multiple dolphin performance can keep my 2-year-old seated. Prior to parking at the aquarium, we were treated to having the main street closed (which of course is where the aquarium is) for their Thanksgiving parade, so we got to see lots of the inn harbor sites along with the streets that are parallel and perpendicular, back and forth we went until finally we just parked by the pavilion with our fingers crossed and our parking frustrations gone. After visiting our marine friends, we walked around and toured a shipped called the USS Constellation, which is where the picture above was taken. After wards, we went to Uncle Ron & Aunt Carole’s for a visit and as always, a great meal with dessert!
