WOW....we've had such a fun day with our nephew and Godson, Tom. He drove from Arlington, VA (1 hour) this morning and we've been on the go all day long! After some good chatting and catching up on the boat, we took off for Dundalk (Tom and I in his car and Mark leading the way in our truck). It's 12 miles away and now the truck is there for when we arrive tomorrow with the boat.
Okay....back to the marina and then set off on foot for the Inner Harbor. Tom was so impressed with Baltimore and the beauty of the water, buildings, and so much action!!! We had a great lunch at McCormick and Schmick (his first time to try crab cakes). We went thru the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse which was moved into the Inner Harbor in 1988 and is now a museum. It dates back to 1855. We browsed around Barnes and Noble which is so unique (it's in an old power plant, so much of the original structure has been retained with all the pipes, exposed ceiling, etc. on 2 levels ) Then back to the throngs.....oh-so-many people out and about this gorgeous Saturday.
Walked back to Catrina and went for a boat ride around the Inner Harbor. What a day to be on the water....warm, sunny, breezy! PERFECT!
After docking, we walked up to The Barge and Tom and I had an "Orange Crush" - great drink founded in Maryland made with orange vodka, oj and triple sec - DEEElicios and so refreshing! Mark enjoyed a beer.
Tom left for home around 7:30 - what a special day with a special guy! Here are some great memories
