Baltimore.

I just got back from a much and I mean much needed mini-vaca with five of my best girl friends. We all needed to just get away and we really couldn't have asked for a better weekend. We left Thursday afternoon and spent the night in Lancaster, PA visiting our friend Kate. We all left Friday morning to spend the weekend in Baltimore. It's only about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Lancaster, so it was a nice easy drive. Our hotel was right in the Inner Harbor and the area was beautiful. We walked around, visited the Fells Pointe neighborhood--cobblestone streets, and such character all around, went to the nightlife area "Power Plant Live" which had a piano bar, Howl at the Moon, a PBR Bar, Leinenkugel's Beer Garden and much more. One of our favorite highlights of the trip was our food. It was unreal--I'm talking the best sushi I've ever had at Ra. All in all it was a great trip. Didn't spend too much time relaxing, but that's okay.  We laughed non-stop and enjoyed our weekend together before it was back to the real world.

Kate made us these "survival kits" for the weekend.

Awesome Irish pub in Lancaster.

The best sushi EVER from Ra Sushi Bar. 

Our bracelets that did a pretty decent job of describing part of the weekend.

I loved this wall--it was inside a Mexican tequila bar.

Loved this sign at Howl at the Moon! We had to do a Steeler's chant after seeing that.
