Baltimore - B&O Railroad Museum / National Aquarium
Today we visited the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum only about 20 minutes from our abode. Then on to the National Aquarium down at the Inner Harbor, also very close. In between, we had a great meal at the Blackwall Hitch near the aquarium. The day's photos start here.

Baltimore - Gettysburg
We spent the entire day getting out to Gettysburg and exploring that world. We were amazed at how many monuments were present from every state involved, every company, division, cavalry unit, etc. Today's photos start here.

Baltimore - Fort McHenry
We took a Water Taxi from Fell's Point to Fort McHenry and spent most of the day there. A bit of cruising to Locust Point where we visited Harry's Bottle Shop. Then after cruising the Inner Harbor a little more, back to Fell's Point for dinner at The Abbey Burger Bistro. On our way out of Fell's Point we passed by The Horse You Came In On Saloon - the oldest continuously operating bar in the country (since 1775). The day's photos start here.

Baltimore, Part 1
Ostensibly, this trip for Nana and Papa was to take Fina to a medical-field, 10-day seminar at Johns Hopkins University put on by Envision. But really, while Fina's busy learning stuff, Nana, Papa, and Aunt Vickie are going to play in Baltimore. Here are some of the activities of the first couple of days. A gallery with all the photos is here.

Holy Smoke!
Matt got a new Traeger Grill for Fathers Day! He and Matteo spent much of the day getting it all set up (after a small army of us moved it from the van to the back deck). Once the shipping box was emptied, it turns into a playhouse - great job, Traeger!
