BALL-timore

So we have returned from our weekend trip to Baltimore, Maryland which, as we found out while visiting, is known as "Charm City." (Should have known that as we occasionally watch Ace of Cakes!). Anyway, every time we mentioned to Christopher that we were going to Baltimore, he would give the sign for ball and say, "ball." We did some exciting things while we were there including going to the National Aquarium with Grandpa, visiting the Port Discovery Children's Museum with both Grandma and Grandpa, and eating out a lot. The highlight of the trip for CJ was a visit to the B&O Railroad Museum where they were having a "Day out with Thomas." Chris got to see a life-size Thomas the Tank Engine as well as Sir Topham Hatt. His favorite part, however, was watching the three different model train set-ups. Here is some video of him watching the outdoor model trains:

We did not lug the camera around for this trip so there are no other pictures to share (sorry). Chris is a trooper when it comes to traveling. We were those people with the screaming child on the plane ride to Baltimore, but other than that, CJ had a good time. It was like visiting the "big city" for him and he was happily talking about the traffic lights and buses that he saw while we were there!
