SoFresh and SoFly: Merry Merry Maryland

Justin: So this past weekend, When I Was Little was a part of the SPX 2011 show in Maryland which you can read all about: here! The great thing about these "workcations" is that we get to go somewhere fun! In June we went to Louisville and had an amazing time.

On this trip, we were heading to Bethesda but we were staying with my cousin Jonathan who lives out in Gaithersburg which wasn't too far. We took a plane ride Thursday night and spent most of Friday in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

The morning before the Harbor, due to the weather, we had to change plans and decided to go somewhere for brunch. On the fly, we found Blue Moon Cafe as seen on Triple D!!! They are famous for their Cap'n Crunch French Toast. The place was soooo good and we were excited to continue our trend of eating at Triple D restaurants while on vacation.

At the Harbor, we got to find a letterbox at the Seven Foot Knoll Lighthouse. This took forever. We got all confused direction wise and ended up going back to this lighthouse four or five times before we actually realized the box was hidden in and around the lighthouse. This was special as it was our first guest box we did together. My cousin Jonathan was really excited that we found the letterbox and it sparked interest in him trying it too. Wooo recruiting!

After the letterbox we decided to check out The National Aquarium, talk about amazing. The way that building is layed out is very linear so that you can see EVERYTHING in the aquarium. It sounds like it'd be boring but it wasn't at all. Especially because of the fact that you can start at the top and walk down in a spiral within a shark tank. It's one of the coolest things about the building. That and these two turtles totally trying to do it.

Nicole: So besides the absolutely amazing Aquarium (not gonna lie, the Shedd's got nothing on it) and SPX, which took most of our time, we got to walk around quite a bit and eat out at some very tasty places! I think we definitely got our fresh seafood fill and I can only dream of having seafood as great as that here. There may have to be more trips to the coasts in our near future ;o)

One thing I was looking forward to doing was going to Crystal City. There is a rotating restaurant and they have dancing till 2am. Sounds like my kind of place! Unfortunately, we were so tired from the full days event of SPX and the previous day of walking around that we couldn't keep our eyes open to make it there. No worries though, that just means we will need to go back!

Justin: Don't forget to mention that was saw the virus/outbreak flick Contagion instead! What a paranoid movie every time someone coughed we wigged out. Annnnnyways I think this blog has seen quite a few movie reviews on here already so I don't want to go into detail.

Nicole: Uh yeah thanks for interrupting me! Along with the seafood and triple D place, we attended a birthday brunch full of Filipino food. This is where I took my love for ice cream to the extreme and tried cheese ice cream. At first there was only a slight taste of cheese and then it was sweet creaminess, not so bad, I could it eat. it wasn't until my last bite where I had an actual piece of cheese that I thought maybe trying it once in my life was enough. I'm so glad I did though! Oh the love and commitment I have for ice cream...
