Celebrating the 4th Inner Harbor Style!

Eric and I hit up Baltimore for the 4th this year. Our first stop when we got into town was http://chapspitbeef.com/ which was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The food was so good and totally worth getting "lost" over. We headed towards the Harbor to check into our hotel and just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company. We ordered in dinner and then headed out to enjoy a beautiful yet rainy fireworks display on the Inner Harbor. The hotel we stayed at had a 5th floor observation deck which gave us a very nice view of the fireworks.

Here we are waiting for the fireworks to begin with the Harbor behind us (don't mind the blur....a really nice and HAPPY stranger offered to take our picture).

From 4th of July

Fireworks are definitely one of the hardest things to photograph when you don't have a tripod to keep the camera still....but I ended up with a few nice shots.

Saturday we met up with our friends Adrian and Christie for breakfast and then some shopping as they were just getting back from the cruise to Bermuda. We had a great day together and were disappointed to see it come to an end.

A night at the ballpark.

Eric and I headed up to Frederick, Maryland tonight to catch a Frederick Keys game. The Frederick Keys play in the Carolina League and are the Class A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

The players in position for the National Anthem accompanied by one of the local little league teams.



The Keys came out strong in the beginning of the game and then slowly lost steam as the visiting Pelicans from Myrtle Beach found their momentum and took off.

Keyote tried to rally the fans to stand behind the home team.



Eric and I showed our enthusiasm for the team.



After the game they had a very nice display of fireworks. Just the perfect ending to a very fun evening.
