Daniel and I found some great prices on travel from Milwaukee to Baltimore (BWI) which is where our friends Sarah and Darnell live. So, we decided to schedule a visit to them when we would both have some vacation and when there would be a lot to do nearby in Washington, DC - July 4th! See photos from our adventures exploring Baltimore, Maryland and the parts of Washington we hadn't seen in the past. Sections - Baltimore Arrival & Pagoda | Ft.
