Fort McHenry has a self-guided tour that you can take around all of the buildings. There was a couple other solo travelers, a small family, and a few pairs of people enjoying the national site on the brisk winter afternoon. It was really interesting to learn about the types of individuals who fought in the battle against the British as well as all the different locations they came from. The living conditions at the barracks were cozy, but definitely better than those who were stuck in tents fighting in other battles.

While I was on my way to a training, I stopped at Fort McHenry at the suggestion of a friend. I had never been there before. It was a really neat fort! I learned that it was the birthplace of the national anthem of the United States, and got to see the same sites the fellow who penned it did. It was interesting to learn about the battle that was fought there, and see the buildings and their uses. Pretty neat to be given significant context to where the words for the anthem come from. I definitely recommend popping in for a visit if you're in the area. Even on a cold winters day, it was still really cool!

I ended up being a bit rushed in the morning due to having to take care of a work issue, so I managed to forget to take a full picture. But when you are on the brink of going on a week and a half vacation on a boat, you end up getting a little excited. The ride to the boat was an easy one as the hotel wasn't very far. Getting onto the boat was a breeze. We quickly dropped off our things and went exploring our home away from home for our time there waiting to meet up with the rest of our group.

A little late arrival into Baltimore, was pretty uneventful. My first trip to Baltimore was mighty quick with it being less than 10 hours where most of them were sleeping. I hope I can pop down there one day to check out the Aquarium. Is there any Baltimore activity that you really enjoy or hope to do when you visit?
