Baltimore and Chestertown

We had such a great whirlwind trip to Baltimore and D.C. this last weekend. We left Jackson early Thursday and flew most of the day, arriving at Washington Dulles airport in the midst of a downpour and traffic in the late afternoon. After maneuvering through the city on bus and the metro, our friend Adam Grace picked us up and we made a beeline for Chestertown, Maryland, an hour or so away.

We went there to visit our friend Katie who lives in Jackson, but grew up in Chestertown and just happened to be home to greet us. Such a wonderful house, we instantly felt like we could finally relax after a full day of traveling. We went crabbing (not catching, but eating) on Friday before we booked it to Adam's house in Baltimore. More pics of our weekend in D.C. tomorrow....

We tried to see an Orioles game ($1 tickets!) but it got rained out before we got to see any action

We did hang around the stadium for awhile, but the rain never let up, so instead we booked it to a bar and watched the Presidential debates which were awesome...a packed bar was mostly silent and glued to the 4 big screens.

More DC pics to follow tomorrow....
