Our Trip to National Aquarium, Baltimore, Maryland

May 7, 2006 - This trip ws not expected by me, but hubby was so excited to tour me around to places worth visiting. It is a 45 minutes drive going to Baltimore, but that's the most convenient drive my husband would do from the rest of our long trips. It was my first time to go around Baltimore, and see some famous landmarks such as the World Trade Center in Baltimore, where my husband partly works.

Baltimore's St. Patrick's Day Parade

March 12, 2006 - Inner Harbor

We went to the Inner harbor Sunday, (March 12) just for a pleasure fun trip. We didn't know they were having the St. Patrick's Parade around the area, so we were stucked up in the traffic jam on one corner of the street.

St. Patrick's day was officially celebrated on March 17 though, but they perhaps decided to have the parade ahead from the actual event. I am not aware of this activity but it was fun watching the parade. The favorite color was green that day ..I saw green haired humans and dogs alike LOL!

Anyway, I was able to get quick shots from the parade and I was able to get some shots of the Irish hounds joining the parade too. I love dogs, and it amazed me seeing these dogs...first time in my life! LOL. They are cute!

The rest of the day was a stroll along Inner Harbor. This was my first hang out in Baltimore :) I enjoyed the photos and the scenes too!
