This weekend we ventured out of Hershey for a more exciting weekend in Baltimore. We visited with friends, Kristi and Merrill and enjoyed just a few of the treasures Baltimore has to offer. We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel, which was lovely- especially the "heavenly bed"-which I have been missing every night since. We drove there friday afternoon. It only took us a short hour and 20 minutess, so we arrived with plenty of time to walk around and explore the harbor. We had dinner with Kristi and Merrill at the Cheesecake Factory and then went to the hotel for a fun swim at the pool. On Saturday we visited the National Aquarium (neat, but highly overrated) and had lunch at Pizzeria Uno (yummmy!). Then we escaped the heat and humidity by spending some time relaxing and playing video games at Kristi and Merrill's place. We had a fantastic trip! Here are a few photo highlights.
Here are the kiddos'---ready for a swim. Poor Alexa was a very good sport to put up with my kids who were a little overwhelmingly interested in her.
This is the kids at the aquarium. There were sharks and a dolphin show and crabs and snails they could touch... but their favorite part by far was finding "Nemo."
And though we didnt eat there we did spend some time at the ESPN Zone- otherwise known to Kevin as "heaven on earth."
Here's a few of us at Pizzeria Uno's.
Kevin took this picture- I think he was just sad to leave ESPN zone and wanted to capture one last glance.
There was some fun ship paraphanalia on the harbor for the kids to explore!
Just looking at this picture makes me nervous that Brayden is going to fall right into the ocean.
This picture doesnt really belong with the post, because it was not taken in Baltimore. It is just Makenna's other new dress and too cute not to post!

Hi Melissa - thanks for your comment on our blog. That is too funny that you guys were also at the aquarium last weekend! We saw someone from a distance who was wearing a BYU shirt, but never got close enough to give a cougar shout out - that would be too hilarious if it was you guys. Looking forward to meeting you in the fall!
ps - are you living in Baltimore right now? If so, there is this festival called the Hon Fest (as in "how ya doin', Hon!") this weekend that is supposed to be awesome. They will style your hair in a beehive!!! I am totally bummed that we won't be able to go. Anyway, there's info about it on this site if you're interested: www.honfest.net. Oops - I just looked at your post again and you're in Hershey, not Baltimore. Well, now you have the info anyway just in case you feel like making another trek to Baltimore this weekend! :)
