Weekend in Baltimore

Todd and I decided to go to Baltimore last weekend.  Todd had a test on Friday morning so as soon as he was done, we headed up there.  We got a hotel right on the Inner Harbor thanks to priceline.  We walked around the Harbor, checked out the National Aquarium, and ate a delicious dinner in Little Italy.
Saturday morning we went for a run around the Harbor and Federal Hill.  We ran by the American Visionary Art Museum and enjoyed all the art pieces they had outside.  We then headed to Mount Vernon, which is just north of downtown and saw the first Washington Monument, the George Peabody Library, and the Walters Art Museum.

In High School, I went with my history class to DC and we stopped in Baltimore for a day.  While we were there my friend, Katelin and I wanted to ride one of these paddle boats.  We soon found out that they weren't as fun as they looked.

Unfortunately we weren't able to go inside because you have to have a guard with you and it was closed but we were able to look through the door and windows.  It is a pretty amazing library. 


We had a great time in Baltimore.  Next time we plan to go to Fort McHenry to see where this song was written...
