Port Discovery and the Baltimore Harbor

Yesterday we took Joshua on a quick day trip to the Baltimore Harbor.  From our house it is a about a 45 minute trip, an hour if you miss the exit to 95.  The gods of weather smiled kindly on us.  When we first arrived it was beautiful and sunny so we took Joshua out on his first paddle boat ride.  We had to fudge his age by 6 months, but he’s a big kid and managed to pass for two.  We ended up picking a gianormous dragon shaped paddle boat.  Next time we are going for smaller and/or electric.  We all had a blast but Melissa and I were exhausted by the time we done.  After working up an appetite we decide to grab some lunch a Cheesecake Factory.   In general I am not a big fan of chain restaurants, but typically Cheesecake is pretty passable.  Not so much this time.  It wasn’t particularly bad, but wasn’t good either.  Service was fine, Cheesecake rarely fails in that area, but wait times were very long which is never fun with a toddler.  Back to the weather gods, it poured while we ate, by the time we finished it was dry and cool enough for a leisurely strolled to the kids museum, Port Discovery. 

Port Discovery was a blast.  Honestly Joshua was a little too young for most of the exhibits, but there was still plenty for him to do.  He loved to water works and the wooden train.  The place is pretty impressive; I am looking forward to going back when he is a little older.  Apparently our good weather karma continued as it poured while were in the Museum but once again cleared up for our walk back to the car and drive home.   Photos are on my Flickr & facebook pages, along with our Saturday hike at Great Falls.
