🌸 Finding Life in Baltimore

"Escaped NYC for a spontaneous 4th of July getaway—and fell in love with Charm City’s vibrant soul!" 🗓️ 3-Day Itinerary 🎆 Day 1: Fireworks & Federal Hill Drove from NYC → arrived just for Independence Day fireworks over Inner Harbor ("The hill was PACKED with happy people!") 🌿 Day 2: Frederick Day Trip Quaint downtown shops + lavender gin (sounded better than it tasted 😅) Peabody Institute – Live music in a Harry Potter-worthy hall 🎶 🎨 Day 3: Art & History Walters Art Museum ("Outshines BMA!") + harbor views Fort McHenry – Where the Star-Spangled Banner was born 🇺🇸 277-step climb up Washington Tower ("Views meh, but bragging rights? Priceless!") 🍽️ Standout Bites 🔥 Rainpia’s spicy pig trotters – "Tears flowed… but I’d do it again!" 🦀 Blue Moon Cafe – *"Mediocre omelet, BUT the waitress’s chaotic energy = 30% tip-worthy!"* 💫 Unexpected Highlights 🏥 JHH Hospital – "Looks like a Game of Thrones castle!" 🎻 Peabody concerts – "That cellist made me weep—encore please!" Final Thought: "Baltimore’s magic? Big-city vibes with small-town chill." #Baltimore #USATravel #LongWeekend
