All Aboard!

Yesterday was another full day.  This schedule of going and going all day is killing me.  Everywhere I go I hear some bar or restaurant or store playing that old song "and I would walk 500 miles and then I would walk 500 more" and I feel like "yeah, I'm doing that!"  La da dah ta.

So, yesterday's adventure was to the B&O Railroad Museum.  It was very, very cool I must say.  I really liked it.  My parents were train buffs when I was a kid and they took me on Amtrack and old steam trains frequently.  They would have loved this.

We even saw a real caboose, Evan's favorite!

They even got to climb on an old engine.  This is the engineer's seat.

Then we got to ride on a real train.

It was ao fun.  After a much needed nap by Evan and some much needed restorative yoga by me, we went out again.  U2 is in town so the Inner Harbor area was buzzing with people.  Bono begged me to come to his concert, but I told him I had family obligations.  So I had a couple of drinks with him and sent him on his way.

We wanted to eat at Hard Rock Cafe again, so I could at least get a decent salad.  I'm so ready to eat dinner on the boat again so I can control the amount of gluten I'm getting.  Hard Rock was closed for a private function (I guess Bono was going there after I sent him away) so we settled on an interesting place next door.  It's called Dick's Last Resort - the shame of Baltimore.  That's really is the tagline.  They pride themselves on sarcasm and rudeness.  It was funny for the kids (especially Zachary) when they placed this hat on him.

It says "I fart in the tub".  The only salad they had was smothered in beef and cheese, so I opted for the crab balls.  They were basically hush puppies, extra greasy, with french fries.  Mmmmm.  No wonder my body is so achy today.  It wasn't the best culinary experience, but the kids laughed a lot.  So I relaxed and went along with it.

Today we are blowing this popsicle stand for the quieter scene of St. Michaels.  I'm ready to sleep in and go back to the spa.  We're staying in a marina there with a resort and spa, so I'm sure it will be wonderful.  They have a pool so we'll be back to swimming daily.  We have stocked up on presents for Zachary so his birthday celebration tomorrow should be lots of fun.
