... on a sunny Saturday afternoon!We had some time to kill before dropping Jake off at BWI for his 8:30 flight back to Detroit, so we decided to wander around the Inner Harbor, grab some lunch, and maybe play some of the games at ESPN Zone.
We weren't the only ones with this idea: it seemed like every person in the State of Maryland (and maybe half from Delaware and Virginia) were there at the same time!
We quickly abandoned the ESPN Zone idea after we realized that it would be 10-minute wait just to talk to the maitre'd, and moved along to eat lunch at the slightly less-crowded and much better-menued Houlihan's. From there, we wandered over to the Coast Guard cutter Taney (named, presumably, in honor of former Maryland governor and ante-bellum Supreme Court Justice Roger Taney), in port for a promotional tour, and then into the mall to cool off.
On the way, we stopped to admire Old Glory, flying from the site of Fort McHenry.
I bet Francis Scott Key didn't have to contend with dragon boats!
As we were driving to the airport, the Baltimore skyline in our rearview mirror, Jake commented, "That's one place I know I never want to live. Too many people for me."
Today, I'm inclined to agree!
