Staycation Part I---Pump it Up, Baltimore Inner Harbor, Ms. Karen's Birthday Fireworks

Ever heard of a staycation?  There are many definitions for it, but ours is:  A vacation you take in a unique season of life when you don't want to spend a whole lot of money to go to exotic places your children will not remember or fully enjoy.  You get to sleep in your own beds, and you don't have to make meals, and everybody including mom and dad get to have fun.

So, there you have it.   Patrick got off two days for the fourth so we combined the whole thing from Tuesday night to Sunday night.

Tuesday:  Pump it up in Leesburg and Dinner out!

Wednesday:  Baltimore Inner Harbor for lunch on the water & the famous Baltimore Aquarium.  We met Seyla and Halys up there, who by the way, celebrated their 11 year anniversary that day. :)

I got the coolest shot of the dolphins in the air.

Apparently Tristan thought it was cool, too!

We ended our fabulous day with celebrating my sweet friend Karen's birthday and also celebrating our country with walmart fireworks!

 Our neighbors came to celebrate with us! 

(Looks like the holy spirit was there too...ha ha...)
