Blogging from Baltimore.
Most of you know that we are able to take a military flight in and out of Baltimore for MUCH cheaper than a commercial airfare. However, we are only able to fly on a space available basis. On the flight we were hoping to be on Tuesday back to Aviano, there was no space available. Grrr. So here we are in Baltimore, biding our time until Saturday when we forked over big bucks for a commercial ride home. To top it off, the kids get to ride in our laps the entire time. Goody! We're praying for an empty flight so hopefully we can use an extra seat or something. We also have 2 lay overs. Not fun!




Although we'd much rather be home., we are trying to make the most of our unexpected vacation. The hotel shuttle will take us to the light rail train which will take us downtown. The first evening we were here, we traveled downtown and checked out the Inner Harbor. The first picture is taken at a water wall type place. Then we walked around and saw the USS Constellation; the last all sail ship built by the Navy and the last Civil War ship. We didn't go in--maybe tomorrow when we head back down there for a trip to the National Aquarium (pictured on the left). Here are my two fire crackers beside two cannons in front of the Constellation. We walked around a little more then ate dinner at Hard Rock Baltimore.












The second evening we attended a Orioles baseball game at Camden Yard. The picture of our family is just outside the front gate and the other picture is the front of the park at night. The Oriole mascot came up to the upper deck where we were sitting, though not for lack of seat in the lower levels. Baltimore is the birthplace of Babe Ruth. We took this picture at the Babe Ruth memorial at the entrance to the park.
