Woznation

Em and Sam came to visit a few weeks ago.  I count them as our first real visitors, since the parents came mainly to help us unpack rather than exploring the city. When Em and Sam were here – we were actually in a place where we could go have some fun!  Im finally getting more comfortable being out of the house with Wil and our place feels like a home.  It was great to have them here to share our new life with them.

Wil meets Aunt Em:

When Wil was first born, within hours of meeting him, I remember mentioning how much he looked like Em.  I guess he looks like a Woz in general, but from time to time I still look at him and think he looks most like Emily.

Anyway, we had a fun relaxing visit.  Phil was only able to take one day off work.  So Em, Sam and I kept ourselves busy during the day.  The first day it rained, so we stayed close to home.  We tried to time a walk in the park around downpours, but planned quite poorly and ended up drenched on the way home.  The next day, we were much more successful.  We walked to fells point and took a water taxi to an Os game :

They were playing the Yankees, so they upped the ticket price, haha.  And the whole crowd was cheering for the yankees.  it was surreal.  It was a HOME game, but the whole place would cheer if an oriole struck out,  it got to be confusing.  But we rooted for the home team – and they won in the bottom of the 10th!  Good times.  Afterwards, we met Phil to go crab smashin’:

The next day, we went to the Baltimore Aquarium:

We sprung for the Dolphin show and 4D movie. The 4D movie was just a crappy 3D movie with ‘enhanced effects’  which turned out to be them squirting water and air into our faces.  not cool. The dolphin show, however, was cool but Wil slept through both.  He woke up occasionally and seemed to stare at a few shiny fish tanks.  Phil and I bought a year-long pass though, so we hope to go back frequently Wil will pick up on.

It was suuuuuch a great visit.  Thanks so much for coming guys!!

And Ill have Sister Act Part II coming in a few weeks when Wendy, Nate and Luke visit!!!
