We love Baltimore! Such a great city full of interesting places to see and wonderful people! I typed in this post title (Welcome to Baltimore, Hon!) and found it has it's own website...feel free to check it out if you would like to brush up on your Baltimore lingo!

One of our favorite things about Baltimore is that it is only 4 short hours away from NY (3.5 on a really good day)! We headed down on Thursday morning with a borrowed car (thanks GG and Gramps!) and loads of leftover Easter candy. Yum! The girls slept most of the way and were very excited when we finally arrived! The trip was full of amazing friends and fun....Riley had 2 nights of sleepovers with Claire, a running hug reunion with Isabel, and a trip down memory lane with Jackson, Kathlyn and Callan, not to mention two giant playdates with Stella, Eva, Alex and Meredith. Lyla reunited with her friend Alec and he was no longer scared of her! Baby steps! She also found out that Summer and Copely had grown up since she's seen them and made great playmates! ( : It was amazing to realize how much Lyla has grown...she was able to go play downstairs with the big kids and navigate the giant slide all on her own! Both girls were excited about a trip to Uncle Wiggly's for their favorite ice cream...even if it was to reward them for a visit to the pediatrician! Lyla actually handled her shots like a pro, surprising us all! She is one tough cookie! Mommy and Daddy had a blast too...it is so nice seeing old friends and being reminded that we have so much to look forward to after this three year adventure!
It was a bittersweet good-bye on Saturday morning and we are all looking forward to another visit in August!
