Water Taxis
After fast talking Delaney onto a water taxi in Baltimore last week (she has a long-standing fear of being in a boat on the water!) I had a hard time talking her off of it!! She loved the concept of traveling about the inner harbor via these small open air excursion boats and we rode to various points, got off, explored the area and then back to ride some more!
She enjoyed Fort McHenry and already knew the whole story of Francis Scott Key and the Star Spangled Banner etc. Her favorite place in Baltimore was the National Aquarium and the gigantic sting and manta ray tank.
Not far behind that was her swimming schedule - 4 times every day that we were there! She is a self-taught swimmer which is pretty rare in these modern times of signing up kids for every sort of activity or lesson imaginable.
And she (as well as Ella) loves to travel! She listened on the airplane headphones to the air traffic control and pilot conversations for all aircraft in our area and duly reported the latest for our flight number!
Small world report - on Friday we got on the same water taxi as my Conversation Club friend Kate & her family were on! They were in Baltimore for the day, then attending a weekend wedding in Harper's Ferry!
