Speaking of Kisses...

....biggest Hershey Kiss ever!


This wasn't the only mega size thing we found in the most amazing Chocolate gift shop ever..we also found....


5 whole pounds chocolate bar! As you can tell from my face...I was quite scared there was such a thing! {Secretly...I want it though...} This one I found even more heavenly...and still quite disturbing...



1 pound Reeses Peanut Butter Cups! Jamison I think was simply in heaven with the thought of a whole pound of peanut buttery amazingness.



Jamison in the land of Reeses world...this happens to be his infamous 'geeking' out face. {The woman's face next to him is pretty funny...}



You can interpret this picture as "mmm! I want to eat all of this chocolate!!!" or "oh my gosh I think I am going to be sick!" Just so you know it was "I am so happy!"

Chocolate World is amazing!

And yes, Jamison and I indulged ourselves and bought ourselves some Reeses, and I had to buy a chocolate bar....Hey, don't judge...we got it 25% off because Jan worked here. {Thanks Jan!!}

And I think you should be jealous....it was fresh chocolate...not the chocolate on the shelves of a supermarket that is at least a year old...mine was made within the week...yummy!!

Hard Rock Cafe!!

Never been to Hard Rock Cafe before, so Jamison and I decided to venture inside to get some 'hopefully' yummy food!


It was pretty neat looking inside with all of the 'hard rock' stuff. We weren't too hungry when we went to eat so we bought an appetizer platter in hoping to fill us up enough to say that we had eaten here.


My overall thoughts about Hard Rock Cafe? Overpriced for not so good of food. Otherwise, the ambiance of the place was really cool! I learned about successes in themed restaurants for my major and never quite understood how crappy food with an awesome theme can still bring in loads of money! The weird quirks of the world I guess!


Although this is the end of the trip, the Inner Harbor was so much fun to be at! I was glad that I could spend some more time with Jamison before he had to go!

On the Dock

These are some random pictures that we couldn't resist but in taking them...so we did.


This is a bridge to walk across that is designed after a bridge in Maryland that you drive across, {thought provoking right?} did I mention that Jamison loves bridges too? {Definetely his artistic side for sure}.


And this is some inside joke that Jamison has with his sister Taylor that I don't want to understand out of fear?....so I'll leave it to the Garner's to have a good laugh at this picture!

Next? Hard Rock Cafe!

Boats! Submarine!

These are some of the gems you can view on the Harbor, such as this Shark submarine. Pretty cool if you ask me, I don't understand how these things can barrel through the water and be undiscoverable. Pretty eerie if you ask me.


Jamison however thought that this was amazing, and if he didn't feel bad about spending $10 to view the submarine...I think he would have!!


So we took a picture outside of the submarine instead, he enjoyed that a lot...after much anazlyzing of the entire submarine from the outside.


This boat is one of the survivors from Pearl Harbor, I don't know how it got to Maryland {must have taken forever!!} but it was cool to see a little bit of surviving history.

Next? Random 'on the dock' pictures.

The Harbor

Being at the Inner Harbor was so much fun just because there were so many things to look at. {Multi-colored, interesting shaped buildings, the water, boats, water taxis, people pedaling on dragon boats, birds etc.} Just a heads up though, parking is $20 and the cheapest we could seem to find. Life is so expensive out East and between the parking fees and toll roads..I don't know how anyone can afford to live out here!


All through out the harbor there are boats that you can explore and things to look at...for one hefty price though. We thought the boats on the outside looked cool... but not enough to go inside and pay...so we used our imaginations! The water surprisingly enough had a ton of fish swimming in it, with all of the 'water disruptions' I thought for sure they would be out of non-existant!



It was a gorgeous day to be outside, and it wasn't too humid! For that...we were extremely grateful!

Next? Anchor's away!

Getting to Inner Harbor

Baltimore city is an extremely diverse city. On one road you can see everything that Baltimore consists of, them being a lot of tight knit {ancient}brick houses all connected together, industrial factories, sky scrapers, and cathedrals of many different religions. Don't forget about all of the local {scary looking} people who coat the streets, this isn't Utah anymore that is for sure. Some of the more interesting things to do on a drive in Baltimore city {well...sitting in traffic} is to look at all of the different street names, street names such as this one.


And here we thought 'gay' was an offensive word...you can use it as an excuse to say the word gay. "That movie was so gay, you know, like the street."

Just kidding.

Only about saying that word though, this is a legit street!

Latest Adventure: Inner Harbor, MD

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, after having quite a troubling weekend and finding out Jamison was to return back to Utah, we decided to do as much 'touristing' as we could before we had to say good bye. One thing we wanted to see, that was close by, was the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. So...again for the next several posts there will be events/pictures from our adventure!


Welcome to Inner Harbor!
