Our Ships Came In

 But they left, pretty quickly.  Specifically, we went up to Baltimore to watch the Tall Ships depart.  They had been in port to celebrate to bicentennial of the War of 1812.

We visited the Baltimore Museum of Industry, which happens to be perfectly situated on the harbor near Ft. McHenry.

We love the "corner store" exhibit.  It brings up everything I loved about living in Baltimore.

 As always, the kids favorite part of the museum was putting on a show on the sound stage!

This one involved a lot of dancing.

 Then we went outside for a picnic, and to watch the parade of ships leaving the harbor.

This is The Pride of Baltimore.  OK, maybe this was what I loved about living in Baltimore!

Choclo was absolutely convinced it was a pirate ship.

In fact, he and Oob were convinced that all the sailing ships were pirate ships.

I eventually decided to be charmed by that.

 Yes, those are the Zoomlians watching the majestic waterborne sight of....

Ducklings!

Which, I guess, made it a perfect day!
