A day in Baltimore…
My mom and sister are visiting me this weekend which is all kinds of exciting. It’s been wonderful having people in my house for a change, even if their stuff has completely overtaken nearly every room. Today we drove into Baltimore where the American Visionary Art Museum was putting on its Kinetic Sculpture Race. The event is completely crazy and the “winner” is the vehicle that comes in dead middle after the amphibious run through the city. We were totally late arriving but – as with everything artsy – the race started 30 minutes behind schedule. Parking on Federal Hill (illegally) we made our way right to the best vantage point quite by accident. I snapped a goodly amount of photos, hosted on Flickr, of course. I even made a video:
Afterwards, we toured the Museum and enjoyed an awesome seafood lunch at the Inner Harbor followed by an impromptu tour of the city (read: I got lost.) Then there was shopping in Annapolis and pizza dinner back at mine. My mom – fully caffeinated – decided that we had to drive to Dover for a Target run and DQ binge. Fun, but exhausting. We are regrouping with Divine Design and computers at present. Tomorrow: breakfast with Kate and a bit more kicking back before they hit the road. Hooray for weekends!
