6/24/11 6am - Final packing, load the car, pee the dogs and BBT 2011 is ON. Kate and Elle drive us to the airport and put us out on the curb at Terminal E. We say goodbye again and again and finally head inside to check our bags onto SWA 400.
9:30 - 5:00. After a quick cab ride into town, we check into the hotel (where the Reds are also staying) and then head to lunch by the harbor. We took a spin around the World Trade Center to kill time while we waited for our 2pm entry into the National Aquarium. Having seen perhaps one fish too many, we hiked back to the hotel and took a dip in the pool before walking the half mile over to Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
6:30 - We have a walk around the park, find our seats and watch an entertaining game complete with a walk off home run win by Derek Lee in the bottom of the 12th. Nice way to end the game and see what would become a #4 SportsCenter Top 10 Play. Our picture-perfect evening was capped by a fireworks show in the stadium.
