Took my youngest boy with me on a trip to baltimore and wash.dc wednesday and thursday. Before we checked into the hotel in laurel....we went to a bass pro shop store at the arundell mall. What a huge store. We only saw half the store, the fishing side. Wow, what a place and they have a huge tank of fish. They had 5 to 20 pound fish swimming around. Huge largemouth and stripers, gar, catfish, carp and the biggest sunnies i've ever seen. We stayed an hour. Checked into the hotel, went to the goddard space center, fort mchenry and went to see the orioles and angels game. Thursday we went to dc and saw the vietnam,korea,ww2,lincoln memorials. We went to arlington cemetary,drove around the city. We saw the whitehouse, the wash.monument. We had a baseball catch in a field near the reflecting pool with the wash.monument in the background. It was awesome. We paddle boated in the tidal basin to the jefferson memorial. Then we went to see our phillies beat the nationals....what an awesome trip. Didnt do any fishing down there...didnt see many lakes or ponds. So glad we have so many places to fish around here. Got home friday at 1230. I went out today and caught a 1 pond bass, it wasnt a big fish, but it was a fish! I was having withdrawal, but it was cured when i landed that bass.
