Picked up my mom
next day, we picked up Shay
Went to Inner Harbor. Visited the Barnes and Noble giant store and decided to take a Water Taxi. From the Water taxi, we went exploring and found Fells Point, took another water taxi and went exploring more of the harbor. We lucked out and got a taxi all to ourself and had a guy as captain who use to be a tour guide and he was awesome and took us around more than i think he was suppose to. (like to extra places and what not). We saw where Michael Phelps lived, some Navy ships, a sugar factory, tons of stuff. We then went back to Fells Point and were starving. So we went to a pub. Yes, a pub. It was awesome and delicious. It was both mine and logans first pub experience. Then we headed back and explored more of the inner harbor and Little Italy. (which is way cool)
We went to my friend Brittany's house down in virginia and she was super nice and drove me, shay, my mom, and logan into DC. We went and saw the american flag (the first and great) in the American History Museum and then went and checked out the Museum of Natural History. You pretty much need a whole day to do each museum because there is so much to see. It was pretty awesome. I loved the butterfly exhibit. you got to go onto a room full of real butterflies. nothing makes a day better than a butterfly landing on you. Well when we got out of the museum it was pretty much sunset so we grabbed a soft pretzel (YUM!) and headed to the monuments. It was such an awesome thing to see those beautiful monuments at night. My ultimate favorite is the Lincoln. It's so inspirational and they finally had the reflection pool back and running so we got to see that.
My mom, Logan, and I went to Fort Mchenry. It was pretty neat. To see where an important part of American History took place is amazing. I love America. It was so cool to watch them do a flag change there as well.
We went to the aquarium. This was everyone who was in our group: Me, Logan, Mom, Shay, Brittany, Tony and Jack (brittany and Tony's son). They had a deal where you can go to the aquarium on a friday night after 5 for only 12 dollars. (it's usually 30 so it's amazing)We had a blast and my mom bought Jack and Logan little Nemo fish for her birthday. It was super sweet and they loved them!
After the aquarium I made the mistake of trying to show off the city to my mom and shay at night. Yeah.... ended up in the complete ghetto where there are cameras and boarded up houses, and a possible crime at a McDonalds. That was a LONG drive home. Luckily we made it safe.
Next day it was a hard goodbye to mom and The rest of us headed down to the inner harbor on the Metro to the Harbor Harvest. Logan and Shay picked out a pumpkin which we later painted. (yes i let logan paint his own pumpkin by himself. good idea? yes. next time tho i will for sure be more prepared) anyway. there was also a petting zoo and we explored more of the city. Saw an indian wedding and walked around little italy. Super cool.
We had an amazing time and I absolutely loved getting out of the house with y'all. Oh man was it awesome.
