Ben does Baltimore

The three of us just spent a fantastic weekend in Baltimore. J.R.'s company meeting was Saturday, so we asked his parents to come up and meet us there, and babysit Ben while the meeting was going on. His parents rented a hotel room for the weekend and invited us to stay with them, so we did. Friday night we went down to the hotel bar for a drink, then went with a friend of J.R's to ESPN Zone. We had a blast (plus, I beat J.R. at hockey, bowling and one game of basketball). It was so nice to be able not only to go out, but to go out and not have to worry about getting back to Ben..he had the perfect babysitters. We showed Ben off Saturday morning, then he stayed with Grandma and Grandpa while we were at the meeting (J.R.'s branch won Branch of the Year!). Then the five of us went to the Baltimore Aquarium. It was a lot of fun. I think Ben enjoyed it too.

Later, we went to the Hard Rock Cafe. Again - we had a really good time. I brought a bib for Ben for dinner, but didn't realize the one I picked out would fit so perfectly.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for a great weekend. We really had a blast. It was great spending time with you and we are both happy you got to spend so much time with Ben.
