Well, I have good news and bad news! The good news is that Geof and the boys had a great day in Baltimore and at Ft. McHenry! It was sunny and in the 70's. They looked at some big historic ships in the harbor, then took a water taxi over to the fort.
Anna Grace and I stayed in. She napped, managed to keep a pancake and milk down, and passed out for an hour. Sweet silence and stillness after a few days of craziness in prepping and traveling! Then she felt well enough to ride in a little stroller down to the harbor to meet the guys for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. It was very bland, even compared to my cooking! And apparently Baltimore isn't high on the chain's list for cool memorabilia! (you might ask why we weren't enjoying seafood at every meal, but that's because we HATE seafood.)
Then we walked about a half mile back to the hotel in the rain. It was actually kind of nice because I came prepared with "emergency ponchos", or as some might see them, colorful trash bags with hoods. It was also nice because we are from TX and one generally doesn't walk in the rain for fear of electrocution. All the commuters whipped out their umbrellas as if their weatherman might be in some way trustworthy! ( I thought I had erased all this so I made a quick post with a picture.)

7th inning rally
Anna grace and I were able to join the guys for dinner after a yucky day of illness away from home ( which is the worst kind in my opinion). Then it rained and we enjoyed walking about a half mile back in it, without our normal risk at home of electrocution.

Baltimore
Hopefully we'll see the more as we stay longer. They call it Charm City, but I think that might be a little haughty.
My first impressions were not favorable, clearly. I've been a variety of cities, but this is the first time I considered that I might get mugged. And we were in the touristy part!! Haha! I wouldn't dare give someone my iPhone4 to take our picture!
I am being harsh, but I really am willing to keep an open mind. Tomorrow is DC. I hope the people there don't stare as much!
