Baltimore, MD

So, Nick and I have been living near Baltimore for almost a year, and have just now gotten out for a touristy day! We decided to do a day trip to get the basic tourist sites done. We found parking near Federal Hill Park and walked up the hill. It was a must-see view of the city! This alone made the day worth it.

We took a nice stroll along the water to the other side of the Harbor and bought tickets to get onto the USS Constellation. It was neat to walk all over the ship with an audio tour that tells the ship's history as well as details about almost every aspect of the ship, and a ghost story at the end!

We then walked over the Top of the World! The top of the Baltimore World Trade Center provides a fantastic view of the city, though I did prefer the view from the park. The Baltimore World Trade Center also has a September 11 memorial in front of the building as well as an exhibit on the observation deck.

We ended our day trip with an early dinner at the James Joyce Irish Pub. Pubs always have good drinks, good food, and good service. This was no different. =)
