From last Tuesday to next Tuesday is the Star-Spangled Spectacular in Baltimore! It's a huge celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner and it's a pretty big deal! For the past few days the Blue Angels have been flying over doing air shows, Obama came to visit (he didn't stop by our apt...darn it!), there are lots of big ships in the Inner Harbor, and tonight there was a huge fireworks show!
Alex and I walked to one of his classmates' apartments and then everyone there walked toward the water to watch the fireworks. We were in the perfect spot to watch! There was a seriously amazing band playing jazzy covers of When the Saints Go Marching In, etc. The fireworks were at least a half hour and they were so good! Probably the best we've ever seen. There were tons coming up from the ground near the water and then several tall buildings around us had them going off on the roof!
It was very nice and coolish while we walked there and back home. On the way back we stopped to got delish frozen yogurt at Tutti Frutti which is right across the street! Lucky us :)
Last night we met up with someone that used to live in Tucson and moved here a few months ago (we have a mutual friend) and we walked around and looked at the huge ships that are here for the celebration. Then we walked to their apartment and met his wife. It was fun to meet people yesterday and today!
Oh! I opened up my Etsy shop!! And got my first order! Someone that was in improv with me at Tucson Improv Movement bought three things! So exciting :) I have twelve listings right now for hair ties and head bands and I'm going to keep adding more!
I had fun taking lots of pictures so you can really see what the hair ties look like. Hopefully I'll get some more orders!
We're planning to wake up early to go to free yoga at the park again, so I'd better go to bed!
Thanks for reading!
