On The Road Again

While the city is great, and there is no place like home...sometimes you just need a road trip. This weekend, the ring, the boy and I went to Baltimore for the Yanks vs. Orioles game. Grabbing two great friends on the way, we decided to explore the Inner Harbor prior to the game. After a great lunch and some drinks at Phillips, we settled on the outdoor patio at the Hard Rock Cafe for some more drinks. You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day.

So while I was a little nervous venturing into Birdland with my Pinstripes and Yanks hat, half the stadium was packed with fellow Yanks Fans and it almost felt like being home in the Bronx....almost.

As much as I love legendary Yankee Stadium, there was something about the charm of Camden Yards. I was very impressed with the feel of the stadium and what it brought to the game. There was even a little piece of home, a statue of Babe Ruth -- a native son of Baltimore -- in front of the stadium.

A great afternoon turned into a great evening -- until the O's scored 6 unanswered runs. The boys in gray didn't seem to have it in them and they added one to the loss column, so we went across the street to The Pickle to add one (or six) to the drinks column. Thanks to the good (and drunk) people of Baltimore for sharing their city with us for the weekend.
