Kickin’ it Tourist Style: Baltimore’s Inner Harbor

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Ah, the tourist. The word conjures up visions of shorts, sun visors, fanny packs. Everything that is not cool.

And it’s here that I lead you today: our Saturday spent as tourists in our own town through a collection of snapshots taken throughout the day. You’ll see pictures from Federal Hill’s Cross Street Market, the Kinetic Sculpture Race, and the Constellation.

I highly recommend spending a day as a tourist in your own town from time to time. Not only do you have the benefit of knowing where to eat/not to eat, you get to do a little recon for visiting friends and family who ask what to add to their itinerary. (more…)

Things to Do in Nags Head, NC

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

This week, we’re coming to you from Nags Head, North Carolina. Here are some things we’ve enjoyed while here and think you would too.

See
Roanoke Island Aquarium Learn about regional aquatic life. In addition to viewing tanks, the aquarium has two touch tanks where kids (and grown ups) can encounter skates, starfish and horseshoe crabs. After strolling through the aquarium, stop by the fossil pit where aquarium goers sift through sediment to find shark teeth. Best part? You get to keep what you find.

He always brought back gifts from the far away places he visited. It was a tradition. There was a hand-carved table from Haiti, a book of nursery rhymes from England, a wooden shoe from Denmark and a doll from Puerto Rico.
