2018 Blue Jeans Week 26

Busy, busy week--we were all over the place--literally!  Miss E was in Colorado all week at church camp, and Miss O and I were in Baltimore, Maryland for her National FBLA conference.  Wow!  What a week!  It was a lot of fun, but it was nice to all get back home together on Sunday!  Take a look at our week....
Sunday afternoon before everyone went their separate ways Mr J and Miss O watching videos on her phone

Monday--Miss E and her church camp group on their way to Colorado to camp up in the beautiful mountains!

They went rafting one day they were there.  Miss E back left.  She loved it!

And Miss O and I went to Baltimore.  We had driven through it once a few years ago, but never been there to officially visit.  It is a fun city!  We stayed in the Inner Harbor area which was full of things to do, see and yummy things to eat!

We went out on this boat to tour the Harbor.  That was fun!

The is the Star Spangled Banner Flag house museum and the house on the side is where the first stars and stripes flag was made.  Pretty cool!

This is Fort McHenry with the same type of flay flying that Francis Scott Key saw from about the same place in the water as we were when he wrote The Star Spangled Banner.  This was awesome to see and then hear it played at this spot on the water during our boat tour.

The view from our hotel.  We were close to lots of fun things!

Lots of yummy food!

This is the basement of the Baltimore Basilica--the first cathedral in the US--it was pretty cool!

The beautiful Peabody Institute Library

The first Washington Monument--made 50 years before the one in DC, with LaFayette on the horse in front

Enjoying some street vendor food--gingermint lemonade and a chocolate banana crepe--yum!

At the grave of Edgar Allan Poe

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you have a great week and a Happy 4th of July!!!
