The only RV in Baltimore

We are about 20 miles north of Baltimore.  We had heard that the Inner Harbor was very cool (Rachel Ray had a swell time there on only $40) and so we decided it would be a cracker jack idea to see it for ourselves.  I had some reservations about the parking but, not wanting dampen the mood, kept them to myself.  My secret hope was that the visitors center had a parking lot big enough to handle the RV.

The Inner Harbor is a very popular place, even on a Sunday morning, and I hope someday to see it.  Mr. Garmin got us to the visitors center without a hitch, but I drove right past without stopping because the only parking lot entrance I saw looked more like a pedestrian walkway than a driveway.  I never actually saw the parking lot, but I'm guessing it was not huge.

The streets are narrow, most of the parking is in garages with 6 1/2 foot clearance limits, and the traffic was bumper to bumper.  I just went with the flow until it finally spit me out into an old residential neighborhood.  By then, I hardly knew which end was up and just wanted to find any place big enough to pull over and catch my breath.  I drove for blocks without finding a thing.

Finally in frustration, Nicole grabbed the Garmin and located a Safeway just a few blocks away.

In less than 5 minutes, we were parked in the shade of a tree out behind the store.  Although, it turned out that the harbor was just across the street, we were over 2 miles from the tourist area.  Not to waste the trip, we went inside and did some grocery shopping.
