This concludes for awhile, the getaways, since everyone has had their turn, but they were fun! Madison and I decided to head up to Baltimore, and on Friday afternoon, we went to Port Discovery, a three story indoor playground with a lot of fun rooms around it to visit. We went to the hotel after, hung out, ordered pizza, played games(mexican train, one of our very favorites), watched a movie(city of ember), ordered a little room service(fruit and yogurt, mmmmm) and went to bed. Well, I should say, Madison fell asleep, but then I kept tossing and turning because she kept crowding me, sucking her thumb, and crowding me some more. She loves having a warm body next to her, so she slept great!

We got up the next morning, enjoyed a great breakfast, got ready, and headed to the aquarium. The dolphin show was amazing and fun. We haven’t been to the aquarium in quite a few years, so it was so much fun to go back. Once she got her “dolphin” from the toy store, she was rearin’ to head home. We tried the 4D Planet Earth movie, (I love, love, love Planet earth), but she wouldn’t have it. We at least got to visit the shark tank. We enjoyed Panera for lunch, and headed home. It was fun to spend time with my little Madison, who is growing up so quickly. She is very smart, and quick to crack funny jokes! She’s such a light in our life!

P.S. Rachel Ford, I got a photo of a Coast Guard ship in the harbor. Rachel and I were in Boston at the same time, me for college, and then I nannied, and she had joined the Coast Guard. I’m not sure which was harder?
