Baltimore, MD

So in preparation for Match Day, and to keep my thoughts positive, I decided I'll do a POSITIVE post about each city in the running. I have not been to all these places, so my ideas may be way off or unrealistic, but don't tell me that. Its best if I live in dream land for now (I think).
Anyways, once again, I'll do this in alphabetical order, so Baltimore is first!

My positive thoughts:
*It's close to DC! I have my forever friend Laura in DC, and our good friends The Osbornes are in DC too!
*Also, its not too far from the part of my family in Wake Forest, NC. Oh, and I believe it's pretty close to my SIL Heather in Philly.
*It would certainly be adventurous!
*Baltimore was ranked the 3rd best city to shop in the US! I could window shop all day every day!
*The Harbor...that's just cool to think about.. (and reminder: I am coming from ARKANSAS)
*This program is 6 years (as opposed to the other programs that are 5)...not sure why that is a plus....but HEY more is better, right?!?!
*July is the hottest month of the year, and the average temp is July is 81!!! Um hello, gorgeous weather! I just might become an outdoor person. That is until winter....but lets not talk about the winter.
*Oh, and Charm City Cakes....definitely a plus!
