10 Tips for Keeping Your Sanity While Fishing with Kids
Summer is a perfect time to take your family fishing! Here are some of our favorite tips for keeping the kids happy on a fishing trip, while easing stress for the adults.
Shark Walk: Behind the Scenes with the National Aquarium
Talk about VIP treatment! The staff at the aquarium led our group on a fantastic behind the scenes experience with the sharks. We wish we had time to see even more exhibits, but now we have a good excuse to go back!
Ahoy Matey! Step Aboard the Urban Pirates Experience
The Urban Pirates experience was our last shoot in Baltimore and it was so much fun! The ship itself is owned and operated by a fellow parent-entrepreneur and you can tell that she put a lot of thought into the experience offered to guests onboard.

We definitely did not have enough time to explore this amazing museum. What a treasure of information, artifacts and memorabilia of Baltimore sports.

The guest families who met us at the attraction were having the BEST time in the dress up area when we arrived! One of the families is actually a friend of the producer!
The Living History of the War of 1812
As we were getting organized, I was struck by Ft. McHenry’s significance in the War of 1812. What an opportunity we have as visitors to walk the grounds, go into the barracks and even raise the flag.

Description
Baltimore offers so much for families who love to travel! Colleen Kelly takes us on a tour around the Inner Harbor starting with a walk above the shark tanks at the National Aquarium, so watch your step! If you want to eat like a shark, join Colleen and a local family as they learn how to crack blue crabs for a feast at Phillips Seafood.
Baltimore is also known as one of the most patriotic cities in the United States. We take a tour of Fort McHenry to learn about its ties to our country’s national anthem and the flag that inspired the musical score. Colleen also learns about the connection between the anthem and major league baseball at the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Sports Legends Museum. A Charm City food tour and an afternoon art class at the American Visionary Art Museum rounds out our vacation and we end our Baltimore adventure with a swashbuckling sail with the Urban Pirates.
