Baltimore Trip

Today we drove to Baltimore. It was only 25 minutes from our hotel and we got to see a lot of crazy interesting people and sights.

We first arrived at Camden Yards, home of the Oriole Ball Park.


Here we are: Nikki, Charma and Kortney with Babe Ruth.


The street between the stadium and this huge warehouse is called Eutaw.... ok, not real interesting.


Then we started walking towards Inner Harbor and passed a convention center which was having some sort of Internet Gaming event called O Call Us Crazy Otakon.


These guys look like they are into the same field of work as us! Hey, that mask looks a little familiar?!?!?


Believe me, these pictures only scratch the surface of costumes we saw today!


As we arrived in Inner Harbor, one of the first things you see is the World Trade Center.


We walked all around the piers.


Grabbed a bite to eat and listened to the live music.



One of the huge ships in the Harbor.


A Submarine.


A view of ESPN Zone, the Hard Rock Cafe and Barnes and Noble. It was a pretty neat looking building.


We came across this Holocaust Memorial.


A somber, quiet place with an statue that states: "Those who do not remember the past are destined to repeat it."


We found the cemetery where Edgar Allan Poe is buried. We left some pennies on the grave stone where the raven is carved. This is a tradition that visitors have.


The cemetery was creepy (I thought it was awesome). There were both grave stones and above ground tombs. I was disappointed that the church was not open today to give tours of the underground catacombs.


Then we drove to the Washington Monument. A lot of the streets around the area are still the old brick or cobblestone. Very neat.


Our last stop of the day was Charm City Cakes. I promised Erin I would go there. We love to watch "Ace of Cakes" on the Food channel. They don't let you go inside, but I did find Erin a T-shirt at the Inner Harbor with their logo.
It was a fun day trip!
