The day to remember.

My brother moved to Baltimore in August of last year. My family is very close- and this distance was pretty hard for all of us (mildly pathetic, I know). My mom, dad, sister, and I decided to come visit him this weekend to celebrate my dad's birthday. We all piled in the car for the one hour trip up to Baltimore. Boy, how things have changed. I was instantly transported into previous road trips with my entire family to numerous places; Florida, New York City, Pittsburgh, the outer banks- fighting over the leg room, playing the license plate game, and calling out what animals were on our side of the car!  With 5 adults, the car definitely feels different. Still the control over the radio is troublesome but barable.

We are spending the day dining this morning with Mimosas and coffee at Spoons and the afternoon observing the aquatic life at the Baltimore Aquairum. My brother is doning his ever-popular fish shirt that we bought last year in honor of our upcoming trip to Greece.

Oh, and my dad ordered "cold-white milk" with his breakfast. Cheers!

  1. Perfect attire for Baltimore aquarium- a fish shirt; here fishy fishy fishy. Family memories have a way of staying with us. They can make us laugh with one look or cry with one word. Hold them, memories and loved one, tight in your heart forever!

  3. A family day -- delightful!

    BTW: Not sure how long you'll be in Baltimore, but consider visiting the Baltimore Art Museum tomorrow. There's also a great restaurant there for brunch! Here's the link: http://www.artbma.org/dine.html.

  4. Sounds like this is going to be one fun time with the family. I had to laugh with your radio comment. Perhaps you should just turn it off. :-)
