With all the shops and museums (rightfully) closed today, we basked in the sun and took to some of Baltimore's great outdoor areas. But before we could even leave the boat, we had to repel boarders! With the tide low our deck was at dock level and tourists kept hopping on for photos! I was a little shocked by this. I guess that's part of being at a city dock though, and I guess there are some cultural differences to consider! A sign and some chains we found around the pilings, likely for that very reason, seemed to do the trick.

Once we were "secured," we headed out. First up, Federal Hill! The kids loved scrambling up this massive hill, and were pleasantly surprised to find a small playground at the top. We even managed to find a geocache!

After a stop by the boat for lunch, the kids and I headed out for a walk around town so the Captain could relax in peace. Then they all played football in a grassy area by the pier while I got to work on the feast--game hens, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, corn, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, and a pecan pie pumpkin cheesecake (compliments of the Cheesecake Factory). Dinner came together nicely and I have to say we had a great day overall! I am very thankful to have a husband that does so much for our family and kids that have a sense of adventure. Can't wait to check out the Maryland Science Center (chosen via coin toss) tomorrow!
