Aunt Jean and CUJ

I saw Aunt Jean and CUJ yesterday. They were kind enough to drive all the way from West Virginia to see me, braving the noreaster that was blowing through. We went out to lunch at this very nice restaurant called Sunset. Since we were in Baltimore I had crab soup and crab sandwiches. The crab appears to be the symbol of Baltimore, you see. It's on all the touristy magnets. Very cute.

Then we drove to the inner harbor where we felt the power of the noreaster. According to the news it was gusting up to 30 or 40 mph. It whipped the rain into my face as I struggled against the wind. Sometimes I walked backward so my better protected back took the brunt. I feel really bad for suggesting we go out there; it was more blustery than I expected.

We didn't stay long. We soon realized the error of our ways and got back in the car. Then we drove past all the homes my Aunt and Uncle had lived in during their time in Baltimore. It was fun to see some neighborhoods in Baltimore that I hadn't seen. They lived in the suburb of Severn when I was born, and only recently moved to West Virginia. So now I know all the history.

Thanks Aunt Jean and CUJ!
