Quarter of a Century!?!

July 2008
I turned 25, and for the first time I REALLY wanted to deny it!!! But nonetheless, we made the absolute most of it! Callie was still working for Anheuser Busch in Detroit, and had tickets to the Orioles/Tigers game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, in Baltimore for that weekend! So we took a road trip up and had an awesome time! Baltimore is a beautiful city with TONS to do! Right when we got there, we had to get to the game, and Callie had left my annual present on my hotel room bed: Sour Patch Kids, a goofy card, and a Detroit Tigers tee to wear to the game! We went out a little after the game, and the next day took time to tour the city and did some serious shopping!!!


We went to the U.S.S. Constellation, and old Navy ship and walked around the restored decks. It was so amazing to see all the history! Of course, I was the Captain!!! ( It was MY birthday! :)
We took a boat cruise around the bay, with our own personal tour guide, Kevin. He is from the area, and both of his parents had served on Naval Hospital ships. The buoy below is the place where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write our National Anthem. It is right offshore from Fort McHenry. I had no idea it was so historical there, and it was a great birthday!!! (Despite being...a quarter of a century!!!)
