Baltimore and a Visit to the "Poe House"

Following a wonderful time in D.C. we headed to Baltimore to see the harbor and to take in a ballgame. We found the harbor to be quite beautiful and Oriole Park at Camden Yards was a real treat. We had to try the famous Boog's BBQ. That has the long u sound like you hear in boot-not like booger.

Me and the bird...









Jay and The Great Bambino













Sweet seats!

Me and # 8. I always thought he had beautiful eyes.

Good BBQ!
                                                                         
In honor of Darcy we had to visit the sights in Baltimore that had to deal with Edgar Allen Poe. The area was pretty rough and TomTom didn't realize that some roads were under construction, so we were having a difficult time finding Poe's home. I thought we should pull over and ask one of the locals for directions. Jay thought I would be asking for trouble if I asked for directions to the "Poe house". He thought they would show me all the "Po" houses in the "hood". Jay seemed pretty nervous but, we eventually found it and then went in search of Poe's grave.

Grim Grinning Ghosts?















We had no problem finding the gravsite. It was pretty cool, and a little spooky, actually. It sort of reminded us of the Disney Haunted House graveyard scene.

We also went in search of a famous sight for Amy and Katy, Charm City Cakes. We were hoping to go in and buy a cupcake, but this guy is so popular that only serious cake buyers can go in, with an appointment.

We enjoyed our stay here in Baltimoreand we hope to return sometime soon.
