This last weekend Tyler and I had our first trip alone (without Maggie) in quite sometime, at least a year! So, we chose to go to Baltimore of course. Well, not exactly, but if we had known how much fun one could have there we might have chosen this grand location. We actually headed to Baltimore, sans Maggie Dirks, so Tyler could officiate his first wedding for our good friends Lauren and Patrick Kelly. We headed up on Thursday and got back sunday afternoon. We had such a great time together alone and with some of our Charlotte friends that also made the journey. Sorry no pics of Maggie in this one. I understand if you want to quit reading at this point, the cute factor is way low.
We started our weekend of fun in Dinosaur Land. We just magically stumbled upon this enchanted forest on our way to Maryland. Here I am with the prehistorics.
When we finally made it to Baltimore, Camden Yard (s)(?) was our first destination point. I'm a huge fan, only joking, actually I am sad to say I didn't even know this was in Baltimore. My husband knew and also seemed to know a lot about it to my surprise. Also, he revealed to me that the Orioles was the name of his first pee wee baseball team. I mean how can we be married for almost four years and I am just now finding this out. This just shows you how important weekends like these are for your marriage. I call this photo "babe with the babe."
Next we headed over to the inner harbour, and had some locals take our picture and recommend a good resteraunt to us. They said "have you ever heard of the Cheesecake Factory," well actually yes. But, we wanted something a little more Baltimorian and so they recommended Regis, which we ended up not eating at, but thanks for the tip and convo ladies.
We met up with our good buddy Jay and his girlfriend Kate for a late dinner at some Irish pub. Food not good, company five stars. This is not a picture taken at the resteraunt, we are actually back at our hotel we just couldn't end the fun after dinner.
The next day we headed to the city again and went to the aquarium. My favorite part was this giant tank in the center with huge, Steve Irwin sized stingrays and sharks and a big sea turtle. There were people scuba diving in the tank and it was a lot of fun to watch. The dolphins were also fun to see, our only regret is that we didn't watch the dolphin show. Next time perhaps.
The main event was Lauren and Patrick's wedding. It was fabulous, and Tyler did a great job officiating his first ceremony...robe and all.
The reception was beautiful and so much fun. I got to fulfill a lifelong dream of mine and participate in a Greek line dance. (I'm sure that's what you call it) Lauren's Grandpa led us in several different dances that I must admit I was pretty awesome at...only joking clearly I was not that good, but it was sure fun.
Here's me, Ashley and Grandpa cuttin a rug.
And lastly here is us with the happily wedded couple. We had such a great weekend, thanks for getting married and letting us be a part of it all Kellys! And, thanks mom for watching Maggie for us!
