 And then back up to Baltimore for a visit with my lovely godmother! |
 Also a perfect day in October to visit Baltimore's Inner Harbor, which I had not seen since the late 1970s when Harborplace was built. |
 The Coast Guard Cutter Taney, last surviving warship from the attack on Pearl Harbor. |

 World War II era submarine |
 |
 Pride of Baltimore |
 Harborplace, full of shops and restaurants. I had one of my best jobs here as a high school student a long time ago. |
 USS Constellation, the last all-sail warship built by the U.S. Navy |
 Of course, it's not hard to find a pirate at Harborplace. |
 A chocolate factory at Harborplace, popular because the attendants sing, clap, and get shoppers involved, who then get free samples of fudge. |

 More of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. |
 The National Aquarium in Baltimore, also known just as the Baltimore Aquarium, one of the most popular attractions in the city. |
 Heading home via Chicago and treated to a beautiful sunset at O'Hare. |
