Saturday morning, we packed up in the rain and headed back to PA.
On the way, we stopped in Baltimore to see some friends for the afternoon. Our original plan was to have a BBQ, and we decided to stick with it, even though it was overcast, drizzling off and on, and in the 50s.
Lani had reserved a pavilion for us at a park, and was the grillmaster for the day.
One of the other pavilions was also an outdoor gym. It's sort of a long story.
Erin would not be goaded into playing with the huge tire. It was quite heavy, which I guess is the point.
We had packed for summer weather; this was the warmest attire I could cobble together from the car.
Lani and Erin are seasoned park-BBQ experts, so we had an excellent food fest in the cold. It was like being at a fall tailgate, without having to go to a game afterward. Or perhaps where the game was "navigate efficiently through traffic".
Erin and I split a... cream soda, in the park.
The cold people eventually figured out that they could huddle around the grill for warmth.
Here we can see Sabrina, wandering off to find a bathroom, sporting the latest in random-car-blanket-over-raincoat warmth technology.
Before we left, we took a short walk down to the harborfront, to get the full low-tide experience. It was a gray and overcast day, but I'll take that over 90s and sunburn any day of the week.
After a few hours, we continued on our way back to Pennsylvania. If the weather had been "nice", traffic probably would have been horrible, given that it was Memorial Day weekend. But as it wasn't exactly a beach day, so the second half of our drive was uneventful.
