Baltimore!

Michael with his "rally cap". (it didn't work) However, he did get a baseball from one of the players right off the field. It was very exciting!
Watching the Sox warm up.
We never know what to get Mike for Fathers Day. So, this year instead of the same old Red Sox shirt, or tickets to Fenway we surpised him with tickets Camden Yards to see the Orioles play the Red Sox! Although it was a very long ride with many "are we there yets??" We arrived in once piece.
The City is beautiful, especially on the waterfront. We rode in a dragon paddleboat, went to see all the wonderful and exotic animals in the aquarium, ate in some terrific restaurants and saw the Red Sox lose to the Baltimore Orioles. I was amazed to see how many Boston fans were in the city. I have to say, that I am quite sure there were more Red Sox fans around than Orioles. We felt right at home. What a amazing family vacation.
I think Mike's highlight might have been dining at PF Chang's and sitting right next to Mike Timlin. (pitcher for the Sox) We could hardly keep his attention through the entire meal. The following day, Tim Wakefield enjoyed his lunch with us at The Cheesecake Factory. What a thrill!
Happy Fathers Day Mike, We LOVE you!

Do you think she likes the SOX? The kids and I got such a kick out of this lady with all of her Wally the Green Monster gear, we couldn't resist asking for a photo!
