For our last day of vacation we decided to go into Baltimore for the day. Especially since we were flying out of the Baltimore Airport we thought it would be a good idea to be in the city so we could get to the airport more easily.
We started off our day getting ready, packing everything and heading back into Washington D.C. to get T-shirts. We always buy T-shirts for our trips that we go on. We kind of were slackers this time because it was not until the last day that we remembered that we needed to pick some up. So, we drove into the city and we found a corner that had a few T- shirt stands. Tanner let me out of the car and I went and bought us some T-shirts. It was funny trying to pick the shirt that was best when there were only a few to choose from but we go them and Tanner drove around the block and then came back and picked me up and we headed to Baltimore.
We got to Baltimore and went to this pier that Tanner had performed at many years ago when he was in Clayton production groups. To start off with we bought tickets to go on tours of two of the ships that were there at the pier. We went through a pirate ship. Okay, I am not sure if it was a pirate ship but it was like that. It was crazy to see how many floors and rooms they could have on one of those ships. Tanner liked the cannons. Which I was shocked to see how big they were. We had fun putting Layla on the hammocks that were hanging up. We probably shouldn't have but it was pretty funny. We walked around the mall that was there and then we headed to the submarine. This was so amazing. It had so many different handles and knobs and levers. I could never imagine having to live in that submarine for weeks or even months. It was so tight and there was almost no living space. It was amazing to read a few stories of the men that served in the submarine.
After that we thought about getting some lunch or ice cream but we decided since nothing look that great and we needed to head to the airport in about and hour that we would just head to return the rental car and head to the airport.
We got to the airport made ourselves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Got in line to check in and get our boarding passes because with an infant in arms the computer made us check in with a person at the counter. Then we stood in what seemed like a long time for security but it actually went really fast.
We got to the gate, I went to change Layla's diaper Tanner went to fill my water bottle with ice. A must have for me on an airplane and got us some smoothies. I of course was getting just a little stressed and frantic about boarding and getting on the plane with the car seat and stroller and Layla crying because she was hungry but I wanted to wait until we took off to give her a bottle. I gave in a fed her right when we boarded the plane but she still did great as always with the air pressure and flying.
The flight went smooth. Tanner is always so calm and great and lets me cuddle him, take all his air all while he is holding Layla. He is wonderful and helps we to calm down a little and relax. I love to travel but flying still gives me a little anxiety. The flight was a little longer than scheduled at first because a few days before we were flying home. There was a fire at a control tour in Chicago. Because of that we had to go down around Chicago instead of going up and around. ( I think that is what the pilot said) Then we got to fly around a storm which was very good to look at the clouds and lightening happening in the clouds while we were flying beside it. We finally made it home. We got to our car and decided we were hungry and drove into down town Salt Lake City and go some sushi at Takashi. Which even though it was 9:30 at night and had to wait to be seated. It was so so yummy and just what we needed to finish off our Washington D.C. vacation.
