Vacation :: Day 2 in Baltimore

Our second day in Baltimore, we both ventured out on our own. I took the car and went to the I Do Brunch, which was the whole reason we came to Baltimore in the first place. My GPS took me in circles around downtown Baltimore for about 20 minutes, and then I finally found my way to the highway. This was a first for me...I had never ventured out on my own in a city I've never been to before! I made it to the brunch, had a fabulous time and had the pleasure of meeting Linnyette Richardson-Hall from Whose Wedding Is It Anyway, one of my favorite shows.







While I was at the brunch, Jamie went walking around downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor and took some photos and videos.









Jamie decided that I needed some good walking shoes so we could go exploring when I got back from the brunch. So, while I was gone, he did some shopping and sent me pictures as he went along.... good thing he did, because I think he was going to buy me these plaid shoes until I veto'd them. (He ended up getting me plain black ones).







That afternoon, we went walking around the harbor and took a Water Taxi to Fells Point. We walked around a bit, Jamie had a beer at the Green Turtle, but that place wasn't tickling our fancy, so we went in search of dinner. We came across BOP (Brick Oven Pizza) and decided to try it out. We had seen it in our water taxi brochure, and Guy Fieri had been there with his Diner's, Drive-In's and Dive's show for Food Network. We figured if it was good enough for that, it must be something special. So we waited in the long line, crammed ourselves into a tiny table, and ate two whole pizzas. It was excellent pizza, I'll give them that....but to be honest, I still think Frosty's on Put In Bay is the best...











After dinner and exploring, it was getting dark and windy and chilly, so we took a cab back to the hotel and called it a night.

We didn't have a day 3 in Baltimore really, we got up in the morning and packed up to leave. We did stop for breakfast at Tug's, the restaurant in the hotel. We both had Eggs Benedict with lump crab meat (which they call Chesapeake Benedict). We were on the road by 11am and headed back to Ohio, but I did get a few last photos on the way out of town...
