Totally spectacular day.....blue skies and 65. We walked across the street for a quick breakfast at Starbucks (a nippy 49 degrees but quickly warmed up). We had a leisurely stroll (3 miles) to Fort McHenry, site of the air show practice. Half way had a nice break to have lunch at Little Havana, a favorite Cuban restaurant on the water from when Philip lived aboard his boat in the Inner harbor - 2000 (hard to believe that's 16 years ago....wow)!!!
Lunch was delicious and then on to the show. Along the way, we walked past so many lovely row houses and many had their fall décor out much to this nomad's enjoyment!
Fort McHenry
What a great site for viewing and so good to catch up with the Blues and family members.
We started the long trek back, stopped at The Tiki Barge (Harborview Marina where Philip lived) and had a drink. Sooooo pretty out sitting by the water in mid October....
Mark decided his legs needed a break, (mine, too), so we called Uber and just like that (despite heavy traffic) and an $8 ride, we were back at the Marriott!
Another small world story, this one from Philip......yesterday and today he was training Nick from AZ. Nick and Philip discovered they were both originally from IL AND then that Nick and I both went to Amboy High School (we were Clippers but of course, many years apart) AND that Nick is married to my cousin, Jennifer from Sublette (my hometown)! Also Nick's family owns the Long Branch in Amboy and my Aunt Dee worked there many years ago!
We had dinner with Ryan at Dalesio's in Little Italy which was delicious and topped off with chocolate lava cake!!!
Back to the hotel for drinks and visited with some of the Blues families.
A great day in Baltimore!!!
