We stayed in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore, which is right by the water. Apparently, this was the 2nd largest immigration point after Ellis Island back in its day (I listened on the ghost tour)... so quite the history. It was beautiful. We stayed in the Admiral Fell Inn, which is apparently one of the most haunted hotels in America (and stunningly beautiful I might add...made affordable by the Johns Hopkins Medical Rate). Nice. Of course on the ghost tour which went through the Inn, they stopped outside our room to tell of a ghost in our room. I didn't see her.
This is what happens when you sit down after staying up all night the night before:
We did some touring in Fells Point (2 different ghost tours, and some walking), but took the water taxi to other areas of Baltimore that we wanted to see. We toured the only surviving Coast Guard ship from Pearl Harbor, and a WWII submarine. Jeremy and his dad had a great time looking at the engines of both which were open for viewing.
In the background of this next one, you can see the coolest B&N ever... the architecture inside was crazy:
Jeremy, his dad, and his mom outside the submarine. Keep his parents in your prayers!
The torpedo area of the sub:
And finally, a picture as to where you end up when you follow the road sign for the "detour" to avoid "major traffic" through NYC. Do detours to avoid major traffic exist in NYC? I'm pretty sure they don't... It was a good sightseeing venture though.
We took a video as well, but our old computer is having trouble with the movie files from Jeremy's new camera.
