Carlyle in Baltimore

My brother Carlyle, just got back from his trip to Baltimore with 5th graders Sean and Zachary. Here are some pictures they took and what they had to say about the trip. There will be more pictures posted tomorrow. --Kyle

Carlyle is buckled in for safety on the 300 mile trip north to Baltimore, Maryland.
Carlyle’s first stop is before the ramparts at historic Fort McHenry, where in September 1814 Major George Armistead and his men held off the invading British Navy inspiring Francis Scott Key to pen “The Star Spangled Banner”.

Carlyle was found sitting on the cannon balls in front of one of the big guns at Fort McHenry.

Carlyle takes part in the 30 ft x 42 ft Star Spangled Banner ceremony nearly 194 years after the original was raised in defiance against the invading British forces.

Check back tomorrow to see where Carlyle spent the night (it's really neat)!
