Vacation in Baltimore, July 2004
We traveled with Nana, PopPop and Aunt Brianna to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor for a family vacation in late July. Gareth did well on the car rides there and back (lots of listening to Raffi and Sesame Street CDs helped!) and he enjoyed his big adventure out of the state (his second trip out of the state this year!) We visited the National Aquarium when we first arrived–Gareth was hot and tired and slept for the first part, but then woke up and was very excited during the dolphin show. We stayed at a gorgeous hotel a few blocks away from the Inner Harbor. Gareth thought the huge bed in our hotel room was fun; he rolled and bounced all over it! <%popup(20040821-bed.jpg|640|429|Family Fun)%> Our first night we ate tons of sea food and shopped in the Harbor. Gareth was awake to enjoy Baltimore night life for just a bit, then he crashed in his stroller. <%popup(20040821-sleepingstroller.jpg|432|640|Tired Out)%> The next morning we got stuck in a torrential rainstorm during our walk to the Harbor. We all dried off under bathroom hand dryers and then set off for more shopping and sightseeing around the Harbor. <%popup(20040821-family.jpg|640|407|Inner Harbor Sites)%> We all had a great time getting away from home for a few days!
