Baltimore, Maryland

I visited Baltimore for the first time in the Summer of 2013.  I'm usually a beach town goer, but I was open to the city near the water short vacation.  There is a lot of history & diversity in this large city.  We stayed at the Hyatt Regency at the Inner Harbor (see my review).  Across from our hotel was a couple of mall like buildings and lots of places to eat.  Of course, don't forget to use the water taxi's to get around.  Vendors was more than friendly.  But I do warn you, everything is a little high priced so take some extra cash.
