Tripping Home

We arrived at Baltimore's Inner Harbour around 11:45 yesterday morning. We then walked down to the food court and patronized Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Our tickets for the aquarium were for 1:00 PM. So, after eating we went directly to the aquarium entrance. After entering the first thing on the agenda was the dolphin show. The children loved it. They were wowed by the dolphin's leaps and splashes. I, however, was disappointed. It was a very lame show in comparison to the Sea World show I saw in Orlando. Of course there is a big difference between a dolphin and Shamu the great white whale. But it was an enjoyable day. The children really enjoyed it. They were feeding this turtle a truck load of lettuce. That would have been a miserable job, in my opinion.
We left Baltimore about 4:30 and headed home. We went down to DC and got on 495 W. We then went around DC and got on I 66 W. We traveled west on 66 to rt. 29 S. Everything went well for a while. We traveled S on 29 until we hit this detour for some reason. We were sent N at the rapid pace of 10 mph for probably 10 miles, well it felt like 10 miles. But they sent us right back to 66 W. If I would have known that I would have stayed on 66 to start with. So we took 66 W to 17 S. This brought us back to 29. We did arrive home about 9:30-10:00 or so.
