James had a conference for work in Baltimore. With all there is to do and see around that area we decided to make it a family trip and tried to fit in as much as we possibly could into the 10 days were were there. Saturday was a travel day, which went smoothly. We flew from LA to Austin and then to Baltimore.
James had to go to meetings on Sunday, so the kids and I were on our own most of the day. We went to church at the Inner Harbor Ward. The building looked like an old office building in the outside which made us question if we were in the right place, but inside was typical church style. The primary was practicing for their program. One of the sunbeams got up and was told his part to copy. ‘I have agency’ must have sounded like 'say the abc’s' as he suddenly started singing the alphabet song.
After church we went to the Walters Museum for a Dia de los Muertos celebration. Brielle had just done a report for school about the traditions surrounding that holiday, so we wanted to experience it a little bit.
She was sad to be missing out on the party they were having at her school that week, but was able to tell us all kinds of interesting facts as we explored the museum.
That afternoon we were able attend the Baltimore Philharmonia Orchestra playing at St. Matthew's Catholic Church. They played songs from Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, etc. which we all enjoyed. Every October Baltimore promotes the arts with "Free Fall Baltimore", so both the Walters Museum and Orchestra were free events that we were able to take advantage of.
That evening we went for a walk up Federal Hill to appreciate the view of the harbor and city. The kids were mostly excited to roll down the hills. :)
