Saturday April 18th, 2009- Baltimore MD- Fort McHenry

Posing in the Ft. McHenry visitors center with the General

The soldiers tents, it was amazing to see how those men lived.

It was neat to go through the "fort" and see how they would sleep, eat, and live.

A soldier sleeping in his barracks...he was a real man.
Looks like he was from the "blue" side.

Here is what some of the quarters looked like.

Where the ammo was stored. It had to be a really cool, dry place. One of the places we saw these types of barrells was down some stairs, in a dark COLD, dungeon like room.

The Drummer boy and the flute players. Every morning they would play. they would play to wake the soldiers up, they would play when it was time for breakfast. It was interesting and it was actually really pretty music.

The cannons.

Looking down a cannon. Look at the date. We found it humbling to see that these were actually used and helped to make this Country what it is today.

"I got it, I think it is moving!"....let me try one more time.

April 18th 2009....On the Water Taxi

My Baby, a little teary eyed after her horrible mother bit her arm!
(I was just teasing her but I guess I did it too hard...bad mom moment)
A Fire Fighter Tug Boat
A paddle boat...is that what they call them?

Apartment buildings along the water line.
I am sure those cost a pretty penny...heck they may even cost an ugly penny!

Saturday April 18th, 2009- Baltimore MD

This was a fun bay area. Floating dragons, who could ask for more?
What is it you ask? A big fish?
It is a ginormous guitar
"Sittin on the dock of the bay, just waistin the day away"...is that how it goes?
It's a boat, a mighty large vessel I would say.

I know...where are the pictures of D.C.?....I am trying!

April 17, 2009...Grandma Brown just dropped us off. Here we go, off to D.C.

Waiting to depart....
Ashlyn watching her movie, her new favorite, "Bolt".
I see she also has the airplane favorite.....peanuts..yum!

Grandpa and Grandma Wilson picked us up from Dulles Int'l Airport.
Ashlyn saw Grandpa from 10 feet away....and ran all the way to him!

Grandma and Ashlyn
Ashlyn was acting so funny at first, she kept staring and G & G and smiling.
I think she was just taking it all in!
