Living in such a popular tourist area it is fun to have friends and family come visit and be a tour guide. I don't think I will ever get tired of visiting all the tourist attractions in the area. This last week family came to visit and we did a number of fun things:
Our first stop was Baltimore. We ate at the Cafe Hon and across the street they had a little shop that sold a Grape Nehi! This was particularly exciting to me because I spent a chunk of my childhood watching MASH and Radar drinks them and was excited to have my own Grape Nehi.
While taking a trip down memory lane, I loved seeing these purple dragon boat rides because when we were kids the only computer/video game we had was Roller Coaster Tycoon and this ride was on the game. My favorite response from my brother was "You better have gone on them if you were that close!"
We went to an Orioles game. They didn't win but they made a great effort right at the end that made the game exciting!
Our next trip was on the Philadelphia via Hershey and Gettysburg. The whole town of Hershey has street lights like this.
There is also a ride you can go on that teaches you how chocolate is made.
The singing cows are the ones that teach you about it.
In Philadelphia we saw the liberty bell and Independence hall.
One of our last adventures was an in depth tour of the U.S. Capitol. I've never toured the capitol so it was fun to experience something new!
Overall, it was a great trip! Always busy taking it all in and having a lot of fun! We are always happy when people come to visit!
