For those of you just joining our program, let me fill you in. We flew out Tuesday to Baltimore for a longtime friend's wedding. We just got back yesterday. Wow. I thought it would take longer to explain that, but no. I guess I'm much more efficient than I thought.
So, anyway.
Our flight was delayed leaving BR, and we missed a connecting flight in Dallas. It put us about an hour and a half behind, but we eventually ended up in Baltimore. I did use the layover time to eat some sushi, which to be honest, was REALLY good, but made me nervous. Cause, ya know. Sushi in an airport? That's weird.
But, we made it in, little bit of jetlag and whatnot, and we got up early Wednesday to do our Baltimore sightseeing. I'm sorry to say, my pictures for this day weren't particularly great - actually, most of the pics I took for this trip were kind of blah. Sorry. My excuse is that I was bone tired and actually a bit sick as well. Eh. Anyway, click the link for Wednesday's photos.
This is on Federal Hill, overlooking the Inner Harbor. We thought we were at Fort McHenry, but we were wrong. The lack of an actual FORT should have clued us in. Sadly, it did not.
Aah, gotta love the self-portraits. Here is us on a bench in the Federal Hill Park (another clue that we were NOT in Ft. McHenry):
The vivid foliage was amazing to me. I have NEVER seen fall like this before. Lovely. So here's me and my new best friend, a tree (You knows how I love trees). Oh, and yeah, my eyes are closed. I was enjoying the moment, okay? :
That night, after a good day of sightseeing, we did something totally out of our element. We went to a concert, of the heavy metal variety. Any of you who know me, know this is NOT my gig, but I had fun dressing for the part. You can't see it from this picture, but I was a total Goth Queen:
Scary, huh? I was. I'm serious. Ignore the floppy hat and pigtails. I was dark. And brooding. And... um... full of angst.
Glad you had a great time!
How fun to see the Northeast and the fall and everything. Aaaah. I was born in Baltimore.
