Baltimore/Washington DC

[Blitz]

The Red Sox are playing the Orioles in Baltimore June 29 - July 1. I am thinking about taking my wife and 2 kids down to see a game and tour Wash. DC. Any info about the 2 areas would be much appreciated.

Where should we stay? Balt., Wash or both? I was thinking of going to the Mon. June 29th game and maybe spending the rest of the time in Wash., unless there are things in the Baltimore area people think we should see. I was thinking of 3 or 4 nights hotel, so maybe stay Monday night after the game in Baltimore and the rest of the nights closer to Wash. or stay all nights in Balt. or all nights in Wash area? Any thoughts from people familiar with the area would be very helpful.

Any and all info welcome and appreciated...

go to d.c.....after seeing the stadium and the inner harbor(adjacent),theres literally nothing in downtown b.more for you....imo....

Considering your company....I would take them to the Baltimore Aquarium which is right there near the stadium. that will be a good time for you all! There's an ESPN Zone there too for lunch or dinner, amongst other options. I think the inner harbor is good for families.

:mj07:

yes there is. geez!

i would do one night b'more, 2 nights dc and 1 night back in b'more on the way back.

food is best in b'more so do the o's game, go to dc, come back and do the aquarium, eat and go home. eat little italy (sabitinos) on the way back. :00hour

the Harbor in downtown Baltimore is awesome and that is where the stadium is

even if Jack is a little biased:shrug:

 

[MadJack]

i would spend the whole 4 nights in the inner harbor :shrug:

but if you've never been to DC, go for it. i'm sure people here will tell you the best places to go. DC has the museums and the zoo :shrug:

you could hang out on pennsylvania ave one evening...take something to pawn.(that`s where "j.wood" and his homies used to roll)....

:lol:

and the white house and monument :jerkit:

and even somebody from baltimore that's been to DC a 100 times still has no idea how to navigate around that place in a car :mj07:

Jack has the right idea..

Whether you spend the day in one of our Baltimore Inner Harbor meeting spaces or are celebrating a Baltimore Wedding reception, the city awaits you at our doorstep!

as for hotels in the baltimore area.. just hop on hotwire or something similiar and book a room in the inner harbor area. they all suck equally.

for stuff to do, inner harbor is fun for the kids. plenty of street performers on the harbor for the kids and you guys to watch and walk around and eat ice cream. I think the dinosaur museum is still there.. the aquarium is top notch too.

 

[gardenweasel]

everybody`s correct,blitz...the inner harbor is the place to be if you must be in b`more..

no need to go anywhere else...the powers that be have poured millions and millions into the inner harbor,...and almost totally neglected the city at large....

right across the water is fort mchenry...and that`s actually kinda` cool...

btw...for those horse racing buffs...the company that owns the preakness(magna) is declaring bankruptcy,thanks in part to political wrangling over a "slots" bill.......it`s not out of the realm of possibilty,that this is the last,or next to last preakness in b`more....

Id say stay in southeast dc... just pitch a tent on the street, weather should be beautiful that time of year.... :00hour

Any Ideas for hotels??

Check Hotwire for Downtown or Inner Harbor, should be able to get very nice room for under $100:scared

 

[marine]

Thru hotwire, you can get a room at the tremont plaza for 91 bucks.

I put in the dates, 29 jun to 1 jul.

it spit back a 3.5 star hotel with ammenities for 91 a night. - which is the Tremont.

It's a pretty nice joint and very close to the aquarium and stuff. like 2-3 blocks if i remember right.

I travel over 100 nights a year and do ALL my bookings thru Hotwire...it is amazing the savings you get:scared :00hour
