Baltimore, MD trip
 
I will be in Baltimore, MD in early Ocober. Looking for things to do. We are in our 50's and will be with our 26 yaer old daughter. Been to the inner harbor and aquarium. Looking for something different.

Did you go to Ft McHenry while you were there?

You want something different? Hit some of the markets, where you'll get a sense of some of Baltimore's soul. Popular with Baltimore's African-American community, Lexington Market is only a few blocks away from the Inner Harbor but feels worlds away; get some Maryland Crab Soup at Faidley's there! Cross Street Market is the lively hub of the Federal Hill neighbourhood. You could also check out the historied streets of Fell's Point or Mount Vernon, possibly visiting the Walters while you're at it.

Enjoy! Daniel

Have not been to this city, but there appear to be scads of things to see and do. Here's a list of attractions:

Visit the Museum of Innovation. It is located at the base of Federal Hill. Mostly unknown artists. I usually get bored at art museums but this was very interesting.

Visit the American Visionary Art Museum, which is really cool and has a great and unusual gift shop.
