Dave had to go to Baltimore, MD for a work conference. We decided it would be a great opportunity to continue our Major League Ball Park Tour (we are going to see how many fields we can visit before the kiddos are grown...or don't want to be seen with us in public anymore!). Plus, it was a great excuse to see the East Coast and visit a town we probably wouldn't visit otherwise.
Our hotel was on the inner harbor with a lot of fun places to go and things to see. We bought tickets to see the Orioles play the Red Sox last Friday night. That morning we took off for the Children's Museum a few blocks away, sporting our new orange Orioles t-shirts. In the 6 block journey to the museum, two cars yelled at us...THEY YELLED STUFF I CANNOT WRITE ON THIS BLOG AND CERTAINLY DIDN'T WANT MY KIDS TO HEAR!! Dave and I quickly realized that even though we were in Baltimore, Oriole fans are a minority.
So what if the team is on a 16 game losing streak, just fired their manager, and ended up losing to the Red Sox by 11 runs. And, so what if the stands were filled with red and 70% of the crowd was cheering for Boston! It was still a terrific trip and we had a wicked-awesome time!

I said that in my very best Boston Rob from Survivor voice.
Did you watch Survivor with Boston Rob and Ambuh? Just curious.
That is too funny! In spite of the walk to the baseball field, it appears you had a great time anyway!!! Of course, any time cotton candy is involved...how can you NOT have fun? And here's to hoping the little ones didn't understand what was being shouted! Ha!
Doesn't matter what those people said - you all look great in orange!
Such a fun tradition!
