Last weekend, we were able to get away to Baltimore to celebrate the end of summer ( and freedom from classes), and Danielle’s birthday. Several months ago, we had begun planning this trip with the purpose of meeting up with Danielle’s friend, Ginger, and her boyfriend for a baseball game. We found a great hotel deal on
Hotwire and made plans to meet for the Oriole’s game on Friday night. We later decided to add another night to our reservation and savor this last weekend of freedom before classes began again for Danielle and fun could not be had without a guilty conscience!
Geoff and I met in Baltimore a few times while we were dating, where he would drive up from D.C. and I would drive down from Lancaster, so we have some good memories in this place. Danielle grew up spending every 4th of July docked in Inner Harbor on her grandparent’s boat, so this city holds special significance for her. If you have never been, we encourage you to check it out!
Here is a picture-guide of our weekend…
Oriole’s game with Ginger & Neil
Inner Harbor
SaladWorks- we don't have one locally, so we made it a priority to stop here for lunch!
Sabatino’s- authentic Italian eatery located in Little Italy, where we celebrated Danielle's birthday- special memories surrounding this restaurant, and the salad dressing was just as good as I remembered it!
Fells Point- historic waterfront town with eclectic shops and great eateries; we found a great
Inn we hope to stay at on our next trip to Balt.
The Power Plant- we spent several hours cooling off in the Barnes & Noble, after hours of walking around in the heat and humidity (we later got stuck under a pavilion while it poured, as we waited for the shuttle from our hotel)
Good Stuff Eatery for burgers & milkshakes
playing Sheepshead with Lincoln
the guys @ Good Stuff
the Washington Monument! (its there...really...behind the fog)
Thank you guys, for coming to DC for the weekend. It was a blessing to spend time with some of our favorite people, to relive college memories, and to have something to distract Geoff from the stress/anticipation of Sunday's game!
