This weekend we went to Baltimore with our friends the McDermotts.

MB loved staying in the hotel! We realized she had never been to one before.

The big bed was the perfect size for her...

And a great hiding place.

We hit the Children's Museum. The kids loved the water play area. The grownups loved that the museum supplied raincoats for the kids.

They could blow a big bubble around themselves.

They had a diner in the Museum that the kids loved. MB works the cash register while Sean washes dishes.

They also had a convenience store. Don't look to closely at
MB's choices!

They had a huge climbing area...tough to say who enjoyed that more.

Needless to say they were exhausted after a busy day!

The next day started bright and early at the National Aquarium.
