They arrived around lunch time on Saturday. After we left the airport and picked up Nick, we went and ate at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. For anyone who hasn't heard of this place, trust me, they have the BEST burgers and fries of anywhere I have ever been. Next, we gave them a driving tour around Baltimore and then dropped Nick back off at the house so he could go to a baseball game. We headed to Annapolis...

A cool flower arrangement that I saw one someone's door while we were in Annapolis.
On Sunday, we (including Nick and Milo...our dog) headed to D.C. for the day....
The only photo I was able to snap of Nick and Milo.

This was at the Franklin D. Roosevelt memorial. I have been to D.C. countless of times and have seen the monuments, but this was my first time to see this one. If you come to D.C., you check this one out. There is more to it then what you see in the picture.

The Vetenam memorial
After the day in D.C., we headed back to Baltimore and took them for their first experience of eating hard shell crabs. I like eating hard shell crabs, but I personally think it is too much work to eat so I usually only eat two or three. Christie loved it, while Jennifer and Hayley thought it was okay. Pics of our eating experience...
On Monday, we (not including Nick) headed to Ocean City, Maryland, for the day to lay out on the beach. Normally, it takes about 2 1/2 hours to get there, but that morning before we left, there had been a BAD accident on the Bay Bridge and traffic was backed up for miles. So, we went a totally different direction, and it took us 3 1/2 hours to get there. We still had plently of time to hang out on the beach and walk the boardwalk. We went the normal way (across the bridge) home in 2 1/2 hours. Beach pics...
On Tuesday, we headed to the Inner Harbor to do some shopping before the American Idol Tour concert that night. That's right, I said American Idol. We all really got into this past season's contestants. They were AWESOME, especially David Cook (and David Archuleta). Well, I only got one picture while were in the Harbor. You see, I had an inside source who told me where the AI ten were staying (do I sound like a teeny bopper or what). So, we headed to the Gallery to do some shopping. The Gallery is attached to the hotel where they were staying. Hayley and I just happen to go out in front of the hotel as the AI ten started to load their buses. We called Jennifer and Christie to hurry up and meet us in front of the hotel. So, we watched them load their bus. Hayley (who is a David A. FANATIC) yelled "Hi, David!" David A. turned around and waved to her (we were the only people standing out there). Needless to say, Hayley was BESIDES herself. Here is a pic of Christie trying to snap a picture, which we got told to put our cameras away...
We went to the concert that evening and had a GREAT time!! I got a lot of pics of different people performing. I took some video of Jason Castro, David A., and David C. Had I know how to work the video part of my camera at one point, I would have filmed Michael Johns, too. After the concert, we got some autographs. Hayley was excited to get David A. to sign her ipod. David C. and Jason didn't come out to sign autographs (who blames them).

Walking into First Mariner Arena
Here are some pics and video of the concert...
Michael Johns is so HOT and he has a sexy accent!!
Brooke playing on the piano. She had a really good performance!
Jason Castro is adorable! I figured out how to use the video on my camera during his performance. Here is some video of him...
Hayley getting ready for her man David A. to perform.
My favorite idol: DAVID COOK...
The top ten
We had a wonderful time over the four-day visit. I couldn't have asked for better weather to go along with their visit also. The highs were in the high 70's to low 80's, no humidity, and plenty of sunshine the entire time. Miss you Jennifer, Hayley, and Christie already!!
P.S. I will be posting updates on our house soon.
P.S.S. This post has taken me WAY to long to do (3 hours)!
P.S.S.S. I have sat here for about an hour trying to download my video of David A. and David C. singing and it isn't working. I'll try again another day.
