In February I thought it would be a great idea to go to Baltimore to see the Red Sox play against the Orioles. So I booked a hotel and bought 2 tickets. I was also able to score 2 more tickets from someone who canceled so I was able to bring 3 of my closest friends. This trip was going to be so much fun! Wrong! This trip is now known as:
The Epic Fail of Baltimore aka Waitsomemore
Why was this trip an Epic Fail? Let me list the reasons.
Why was this trip an Epic Fail? Let me list the reasons.
- The Sheraton overbooked the hotel and we had to stay at a "nicer" hotel
-The "nicer" hotel turned out to be a dump
-We missed our tour of Camden Yard because it took forever to check out of that hotel
- On the way back from our non existing tour we waited like 45 mins for the train in the hot sun in the middle of no where
But we didn't come to Baltimore to go sight seeing, we were in Baltimore to see the Red Sox play. The game was fantastic and Camden Yards is beautiful!
The view from our seats. Pretty darn good for just $35 buck seats!
I see why Baltimore is called "Boston of the South" I didn't see any Orioles fans in our section. Do you see any orange?
Except for this jerk sitting in front of us. He was so annoyed at us Red Sox fans. Yet...isn't that a Red Sox hat he is wearing?!
Their field was so nice! And it was so clean! Even the bathrooms where clean.
Despite the fact that Ortiz was supposedly using steroids back in 2004, us fans still shouted out his name. The couple beside me was shocked at how into the Sox we fans are. I also had to explain that we were NOT booing Youk.
The best part of Camden Yards was the hot dogs and the Margarita's! That's right, Margaritas passed out by a vendor! We had fun taking advantage of that!
The Sox win!! aww the sad wittle birdie is all gwouchy and sad 
The Sox won, we were full of hot dogs, and the drinks were tasty! Baltimore wasn't such a fail after all! (BTW, I wanted a picture of me at our section....we were section 61)
Despite everything that happened with the hotel, on the way back home we all agreed that this was a great trip and that we should do it again! I guess it makes for a great story.
