One of my dream trips!

I have a short list of places that I would like to visit in my lifetime... most of which I thought would be years before I would ever go. Most trips like these are planned in advance, however, in our case we found out and planned a trip to New York City and Washington D.C. in about two days, unexpectedly. Mike was asked to go to a conference for work in Baltimore, Maryland, next month - so we figured we better take advantage of his free flight and hotel in Baltimore. New York is only three hours away and D.C. is less than an hour away. We will be in D.C. during the blooming of the cherry trees, so I am sure it will be beautiful there. I am so excited, overwhelmed, and also shocked at how much places can charge to stay at their hotel. I have found some pretty crappy places in New York, they are a great price, but I am not willing to possibly not return home after our trip because some one can see that we are obviously not from New York, so they decide to steal all of our money and stuff us in the trunk of a car and then drive it off the Brooklyn Bridge. OK, I got a little out of hand, but you know what I mean. We will have Hayden with us too, so we will be limited a little bit on what we can do. I would totally be going to the the "People's Court," if he was not there. Yeah, yeah, make fun of me all you want. While Mike is at his conference Hayden and I will be roaming Baltimore, using the mass transit systems, so hopefully I don't get us too lost. That is scary to think about. I can just see us ending up in a bad part of town, and not knowing what to do. Another one of my worries is our plane rides. I hope there are nice people and airline staff on the plane because Hayden is not going to sit for hours. I guess I ended this with all of my worries, but I know that we will have so much fun! It better be fun because we aren't going to have any money to do anything fun for a long time after this!
