Alex, Larry, Kari and I went to the Baltimore Aquarium and Baltimore's Inner Harbor today.
The Aquarium was neat, but I don't know if it was worth the money we paid to get in! Alex loved the Aquarium when we first walked in. I think he was in awe of the colors, fish and people!
Unfortunately, he got scared a few minutes into our trip and couldn't shake his fear! He was standing at one of the tanks when a fish came up and surprised him - he was really frightened! We tried to get him over his fear by waiting with our hands on the glass until the fish came back - he was a little less scared, but definitely timid then the rest of the trip!
After the Aqaurium, we walked around the Inner Harbor. It was beautiful and we highly recommend seeing it! The buildings are incredible and it was a family-friend atmosphere! We ate lunch at one of the restaurants near the Harbor - none of us were really impressed with our meals (well, Alex was, but he only had a hot-dog)!
Here are some pictures from the day:

Charm City Cakes
After visiting the Baltimore Aquarium and the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, we decided to try to find the building for Charm City Cakes from the TV show Ace of Cakes!
For those of you that don't watch this show, it is on Food Network and it is amazing! They make cakes that people only imagine! The minimum cake order is $1000 and the wait-list is crazy! Needless to say, this is probably the closest that we will EVER get to Charm City Cakes!
Luckily, we have our Garmin (the GPS), because we would have NEVER found this building! It was in a very "colorful" part of Baltimore. You could definitely tell that they didn't have a lot of money when they first opened and probably found the first building that they could afford! The windows were blacked out (probably to keep crazy tourists, like us from peering in at them)! We were pretty excited to see the building!
Don't be jealous of our brush with fame:
