Blogs from Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland, United States, North America

David here... We got to Washington in terrible conditions. It was raining heavily and the interstate had low visibility. Still we got to the car rental drop-off in plenty of time. We jumped onto the courtesy bus back to Dulles airport and then onto the Washington Flyer to the Silver line metro. We were soon back in the centre of Washington. We had time for a quick lunch at Ray's Hell burgers again before making our way to the station to catch our train to Baltimore. We managed to get a seat in the quiet coach, enjoying that the rules are actually enforced, with people being told off for talking too loudly or using mobile phones. The journey was only 40 minutes. We then had a 30 minute walk to our hotel, the Days Inn at ... read more

What a day that I hope to not relive any time soon! Last night was not good. I was really concerned about how today would work out so didn’t sleep well. Then the wine I’d bought was way too sweet and fizzy, YUCK! It was a Virginia wine but not a good one so I really couldn’t drink much. I had 4 appointments set up for today but 1st had to drive from Fredericksburg to Baltimore about a 2 hour drive. I left late so knew that although I’d be within the range I gave, I’d be later than I wanted. Fortunately, roads were not busy so I flew on my way and got to my first appointment on time. By afternoon I’d checked both of the bank accounts and my advance was not there. I ... read more

These are pictures from the fall when parents came to town. We went to Baltimore for the day and toured the inner harbor. I think it is a very underrated area. We had lunch at Phillips Seafood. I had not had Maryland style crabs since I was a kid. Not sure if I am really a fan. We then walked along the harbor and took a boat tour. We could see the Domino Sugar sign. Very neat. We then went to a section of the harbor called Fells Point. It had streets with brown stones and cobble stone streets. There were neat little places to eat and cute little shops. It looked like a little New York right on the Ocean. I definitely want to go back and spend more time there. ... read more

Located a short distance from each other, the Maritime Museum in Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad Museum make for a fantastic day-trip into Baltimore. With family in town, we ventured north for the day, first visiting the B&O Railroad Museum, which is the birthplace of American Railroading and a massive museum of over 40 acres with nearly 200 trains on display. Then we headed over to Baltimore's Inner Harbor to explore the Maritime Museum, which really means we boarded and explored three ships and a submarine berthed at the Inner Harbor. First there was the USS Constellation, the last all-sail warship built by the US Navy, then the Lightship Chesapeake, which served in the US Lighthouse Service, the USCGC (U.S. Coast Guard Cutter) Taney, the last surviving warship still afloat from ... read more
