Lizzy goes to the zoo and the Capitol

Lizzy meets Great relatives

Last weekend, we flew into Baltimore to visit Lizzy's great aunts and uncles and great-grandma. What a busy weekend! We went to the harbor on Friday and walked from the harbor to Fort McHenry, where apparently the Americans sent the British packing. Aunt Mary and Jim had several discussions about the true course of events in history... After walking several miles, we tried to catch a water taxi back, but didn't know what we were doing. We eventually called for a regular taxi and got a ride back into town (which was really only 2 miles!) and we were back to the car just as it started to rain.

The next day, we headed up to Harrisburg to meet up with the rest of the family for the 4th of July. Lizzy met great-grandma Ginny and great-aunt Peggy for the first time. She wore her party dress of course! Lizzy learned to knit with Mommy and got a gorgeous new sweater.

She met her second cousin Tony, who carefully watched over her until she awoke from her nap.

Then we went to great uncle Jim and great aunt Paula's house. She met her great uncle John and Paula's parents there too. She was especially fond of the german short-haired pointer, who taught Lizzy some new swimming skills!
