Good Morning, Baltimore!

This week was my long awaited excursion to Baltimore. The National Aquarium has been high on

my list of things to see ever since I arrived here. I planned out everything, and pretty much had the floor plan memorized before I arrived. We got to see the dolphin show, watch Shallow Seas in the 4-D Theater, and see Dora and Nemo! I think though, my favorite animals were the poisonous frogs. It was like an I Spy Book trying to find the different frogs in their simulated habitats. As we stood there trying to find the frogs, I started saying stuff like, "One drop of poison from this frog is enough to kill an entire frog!" just to see the facial reactions of the people behind us. Hilarious!

Anyway, we hit up Fort McHenry on the way home. That's where we held off the British navy's bombardment during the war of 1812 and where Francis Scott Key was poetically inspired to write the words that would become our national anthem. I liked it! I really love our country.

That was Baltimore. As we walked down the streets towards the Aquarium on such a beautiful day, I couldn't help myself from singing, "Good morning, Baltimore!"
