full house
Filed under family at 5:38 pm
My entire family (both brothers with their 2 and 3 kids respectively, and my parents) was in town for a week. We shared hosting duties with Brad and Lori, so there was plenty of room for everyone. We really enjoyed having everyone around.
The biggest accomplishment for the week was packing up everyone and heading to Baltimore for a day (well, it was either that or getting everyone to sit still for a family picture). We went to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Downtown Baltimore looked like a pretty cool place. I’d like to head back and check out more once it’s a bit warmer. After the aquarium, we thought we’d hit The Cheesecake
Factory for dinner. Arriving there at 4:00pm we figured the wait shouldn’t be too bad. Well, the 3 hour wait was deemed “too bad” so we bought some cheesecake to go and ate dinner elsewhere.
Way too many pictures were taken, no kids were lost, and we all survived the Peanut Butter recall. It was a great week.

Was there some special event at the Cheesecake Factory? I can’t for the life of me figure out why they’d have a 3hr wait. Even the CF here in Waikiki (the busiest in the entire chain, I’ve heard) peaks at about 2 hours.
Sounds like a fun trip, eh.
Things to check out in/near Baltimore:
Little Italy (fantastic Itallian food)
Crab Boil (crabs, brown paper, picnic tables, buckets and hammers)
Orioles game
And the peanut butter saga continues
I didn’t see anything special going on, but I think one of the major reasons for that type of wait was our party size (15ish people). Even so, were we to split up and sit at multiple tables, the wait was still 2 hours, I believe. The place seemed like a mad house all night.
The Italian food sounds great. As for the crab boil, where does the hammer fit in the whole silverware line-up? Next to the forks, or on the side with the knife and spoon?
