Maryland Madness

Disclaimer: We can neither confirm nor deny that we went crazy in Maryland. We shirk all culpability in the events that transpired.

We picked the rental car up from JFK Airport and hopped on the New Jersey Turnpike and traveled down to the I95 to get to Glen Burnie, a little suburb south of Baltimore. The trip took 6 hours (we finally found a good radio station to sing along to in Baltimore County). We were very excited about re-visiting all the areas we frequented when Mum and Dad lived in Annapolis.

The first day we performed some reconnaissance at Arundel Mills (outlet shopping) in order to determine the path of least resistance (for later in the week). We also saw The Dark Knight at the Egyptian Temple-esque theatre.

The following day we caught up with long-time friend Helen Mary, at Columbia Mall. The Apple Store here was not as nice as the one in Toronto.

The third day we went to the Baltimore Harbour and took a water taxi out to Fells Point. We also visited the Maryland Science Museum to see Body Worlds 2 - a display of plasticised bodies and organs showing various anatomy. At some points I felt a great need to intently read the posters (as opposed to looking at the displays). Mum was having a great time - which was suprising seeing as she doesn't like horror movies.

Annapolis Harbour was a must the next day in order to go to the best sushi place in the world. I am not understating it. We spent a good hour indulging at Yin Yankee. Everything was just as delicious as we remembered. Then off to Westfield Annapolis - which has doubled in size in the last 3 years! After a brief bout of shopping at the mall we stopped off at Best Buy - the only place to get electrical equipment (found a good replacement for my pink-photo taking camera). We finished off the day having a lovely home cooked meal with Helen Mary (baked chicken and fresh vegies yum!) followed by brownies (grahlaglagl).

Woohoo!

The final day before we left was the epitomy of mall madness. We spent 6 hours shopping at Arundel Mills. We refueled in the middle with half an hour for lunch. The day was completed by seeing Hancock at the cinemas. We climbed into bed sated and euphoric.

Mwhuhahahaha!
