Baltimore Blast!
Perfect weather graced the 8th graders' trip to Baltimore.
Each year members of the 8th grade class celebrate their end-of-middle-school tenure with a two-day trip to Baltimore. Despite a late start on Thursday morning because their bus was delayed, this year's class of 8th graders arrived in Baltimore in time for a Camden Yards tour. Following lunch and shopping for hats and sun glasses, the group saw the Dolphin show at the aquarium, took the Baltimore Duck Tour and had supper at the ESPN Zone. The only untoward happening was occasioned by "Captain Crabby" whose amphibious Duck Tour vehicle clipped a car. Only a minor fender bender, though.
After spending the night at the Day's Inn, the students visited the B&O Railroad Museum, traveled to Fort McHenry by water taxi, and saw a 14 inning Orioles' game that lasted to the wee hours. Sometime in the midst of this busy schedule the kids had time for more souvenir shopping and swimming at the hotel.
A weary group arrived back at Craig early Saturday afternoon. All in all according to Mr. Furlong, it was a great trip!
