I have this friend—we’ll call her Amanda (because that’s her name). Amanda and I have been compiling a list of things we ought to do in Baltimore this summer:
- Maryland Crabs
- Quality Time with My New Apartment & Pool
- Actually Move Me into My New Apartment (check)
- Try Raw Oysters (check)
- Paint Amanda’s Apartment
- Sushi Dates (check)
- Wedding Crashing
- Movies on the Pier (did not go as planned…sorry Amanda)
- Woodberry Kitchen

- Pirate Ship Party
- Fells Point Ghost Tours
- Dress as Cows and Get Free Chick-fil-a (missed opportunity)

- Get Our Lives Together (in-progress)
This isn’t our complete list, but I think you’ve got a feel for our summer goals. And it’s important that you understand our goals and a bit about us, because I’m about to use this people-watching blog to give you a glimpse of a Saturday in July.
