Sightseeing in Baltimore - June 20 2008

The day before yesterday, Chris and I walked to downtown Baltimore (about a 45 minute walk) to see the Baltimore Aquarium. It was WONDERFUL. We started out with a 3-D movie (complete with silly glasses), then onto the dolphin show and then walked through all the exhibits. We were there at 10 am and stayed until about 3:00 pm until our feet started to protest and then began the walk back to Canton (where the Anchorage Marina is located). There are so many little bars and restaurants to choose from. We stopped at "The Greene Turtle" and had a couple of burgers while sitting outside on their cafe' sidewalk.

Yesterday our friends (Henry and Jan) that live aboard their Hunter 420 here in Baltimore (Gypsy Too) were kind enough to take us in their new Prius (gotta love 40-60 miles per gallon) to a big Target store and a GREAT wine store (they had anything and everything you ever wanted or needed). Next was onto Home Depot and Lowes as Chris wants to install an anchor washdown. It would have been great to have one on the way up. Henry has already installed one so volunteered to "supervise" :-)

Today was boat cleaning and filter cleaning day as my cousin and boyfriend are visiting from Pennsylvania tomorrow and we wanted the boat to be as clean as can be! Hopefully the weather will hold for us and we can go out on the river for a sail tomorrow. Tonight we're going to meet Henry and Jan to try the restaurant located across the street called "Austin Grille" - it comes highly recommended.

We miss all of you! Keep the emails coming!!!!
