While in Maryland we decided to visit the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. Pops wanted to see every sea worthy vessel possible (that is how I hooked him on taking this trip). The harbor has been a major seaport since the 1700's. Sometime in the 1970's it began to develop as a cultural area of Baltimore. This area is home to the Maryland Science Center, The National Aquarium, Port Discovery Children's Museum, and Baltimore Maritime Museum. We found the area to be bustling with people even though the day was chilly. We were particularly impressed with the redesigned Power Plant that now houses a Barnes and Noble book store and Hard Rock Cafe. Unfortunately we had only a few hours to spend here and could not visit each of the sites individually, but we did give Baltimore a thumbs up for a place to visit in the future.
