My holiday break in pictures

[sihayadesigns]

This is the Inner Harbor on New Year's Eve. It was gorgeous, sunny, beautiful. See that hill? That's Federal Hill. I grew up only a few blocks behind it. I spent so much time at the harbor, watching the water, watching the people, losing myself in the aisles at Barnes & Noble.



December 23rd. The night of Mike's holiday party. There was tons of food-- meatballs, ham, an amazing Heath bar apple dip, cheese platters, veggie platters. And of course, lots of wine.


December 25th. Christmas breakfast at Jamie's. Clockwise: 1. My sister Andrea with Jamie's son, Jacob. 2. Jamie showing off her new pajamas. 3. My cousin Chuck and his wife, Amy with Jakey. You can't read it, but her shirt says "future rock star" with an arrow pointing down. She'd just announced that after a lot of trying, she is pregnant. 4. Andi and my brother, Matt... better known as Vomit Boy.


Christmas lunch at my aunt's house in Pennsylvania. Clockwise: 1. For some reason, we'd forsaken the actual table. L-R: Pop-Pop, my dad, Uncle JP, Aunt Linda, Mike. 2. Pops and Aunt Lin on the couch. 3. Me and the other two sibs, Danny and Melissa. 4. My father upholds the traditional game of Christmas pool.


Dec. 31st. The Inner Harbor, complete with Santa's house. This is the day that belladonnastrap and I met, and the wind tried not to let me snap off a pic.


Still New Year's Eve. Clockwise: 1. My mother's a bit of a goof. You see, these glasses are kinda like 3-D glasses, only they make all of the Christmas lights pop out into snowflake shapes, kind of like an acid trip without the drugs. She spent waaaay too much time with them on. 2. The tree. 3. My family. L-R: Mom, yours truly, Andi, Adrian, Matt. 4. New fish! We got a yellow tang, some clownfish, and this crazy neon tiger-striped Angelfish. Cool.



I think that's about it for now.

We're trying to get a blue one, too. My mom calls 'em "Dorie fish," a a Finding Nemo.

I'm going to ask a dumb question but is that the USS Consitution in the background?

[counterword.livejournal.com]

Not unless she grew up in boston!

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's the Constellation.

Beautiful pictures. I especially like the Inner Harbor photos, you look awesome in the one you're in there, too.

My one lone resolution for 2005:

TO TAKE BETTER PICTURES.

run away run away!

The santa house *is* cool, I will give you that.

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Did none of your pics turn out?

[belladonnastrap.livejournal.com]

Meh one did and one did not. I look deathly pale (a feat!) in both though. Maybe it was the sun?

FINE! Make me homesick from Baltimore, whay dontcha?? Even though I just got back. Bleh.

You know, I now remember I never did get to ride in the balloon thingy. I heard there was an accident on that thing. Are they still running it?

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

The balloony thingy??

What with the huh? The thing at that kids' museum?

[bellybalt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, THAT ballooney-type-thingy.

Lovely pictures! You and Mike look cute in your Santa hats. Glad to see you had a wonderful holiday and New Year. =)

[sihaya09.livejournal.com]

Aha. Well, I wouldn't say "wonderful." Serviceable, maybe.


Pssssst. It's getting closer to February!

Beautiful pictires! You reminded me of why I love it here so much *hugs* I remember when I lived walking distance from the Harbor and would go there pretty much every weekend just to enjoy the scenery. :)
