Hope you're all having a fantastic July 4th celebration! Love seeing our beautiful American flag flying high atop Federal Hill..
Old Glory
What a difference a day makes - after all the heat and then storms from yesterday and during the night, today was spectacular - so fresh, low humidity and temps in the 70's. It was very windy all day, though, but around 7:30, it really calmed down. The Inner Harbor was hopping with people decked out in their red, white and blue finery! We went for a long walk and destination was to the Cross Street Market on Federal Hill....however, it was closed today! Oh well, those folks need a day off, too. We'll try again tomorrow before we leave.
Bye bye Arthur.....thank you for staying away!
A very pretty flower box in front of a charming row house on Federal Hill
Walked around Harborview Marina, the lovely condos, Ritz Carlton, etc.....this is such a pretty area and flowers are everywhere!!!
Beautiful begonia blooms in Baltimore
What a treat to turn off the air and open the windows and let the fresh air in! We stopped at Little Havana and got some Cuban sandwiches to go. Very good lunch. This is another favorite spot to eat when we're in Baltimore.
I have gotten back into making the photo book from our Spain (Windstar Cruise) trip we took last fall. Keep putting that off and really wanting to finish, order and cross that off the list!
Leisurely afternoon - reading, napping, working on the book, and then another walk (the docks to see the many mega yachts here)! A very festive atmosphere as folks are celebrating our nation's birthday and getting ready for the fireworks, music and hoopla coming later tonight!
Baltimore fireworks - 2014
Wow - we needed 2 pairs of eyes for these fireworks as there was a barge in front of us and one behind us sending off beautiful fireworks for 17 solid minutes of non-stop beauty and
oohs and aahs!
God Bless America!
