a trip to Baltimore

On Saturday we walked over to Patterson Park to watch the end of the Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race sponsored by the American Visionary Art Museum. The entrants construct amphibious, human powered "vehicles" that have to go through water, sand & mud. The Platypus was my favorite. But Fifi the poodle was pretty good too! I've never seen so many nerdy engineer-types!

You can see some of the results here. And more of the entrants - they're all pretty darn wacky!

A visit to the Baltimore Museum of Art with permanent collections of Matisse & Rodin being the highlights. And it's FREE!

The last signs of spring: tulips & azaleas.
