Baltimore Trip 2014

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here a few to highlight my first business trip to Baltimore (which was also my first trip to the East Coast. . . I don’t get out much) that occurred back in November.

I went to Baltimore, Maryland for a conference and was so nervous about flying. I am a firm believer that God created gravity for a reason (so why defy it??).

Since the trip, I have flown a total of 3 time in my life. I was grateful for the opportunity since it meant facing my fears but I was also terrified because it meant facing my fears. I cried 3 times the day before the trip (I really hate flying!) but I was a big girl and survived the flight there and back and have learned, once again, that the Lord is faithful and I need to depend on Him.

I purchased this vintage suitcase on eBay just for my trip – I always feel like I should be singing “I Have Confidence” from The Sound of Music when I use it.

Exiting the airport in Baltimore – You’ll never know how happy I was to be off the plane!

Sunrise Day 1

I accidentally stayed on the elevator and went up to the 14th floor (I didn’t realize the hotel had 14 floors). I had never stayed in such a fancy hotel before.

Shot from inside my hotel room – can you see the reflection?

Have accessories, will travel.

I’m not one who cares much for seafood but their calamari strips are amazing!

The hotel at night – the purple Vs are lights inside the glass elevators.

It was definitely had a Charlie Bucket feel.

The skywalk

Little Italy

Sabatino’s – My colleagues and I were actually supposed to meet some friends in DC for dinner but the plans changed last minute. We ended up eating here instead and I “randomly” ran into my friend Katie from church!
