We have just returned from a trip to Baltimore. We did some things we do each time we go, but we also did some new things. The weather was beautiful and the trees had turned just enough to make it really seem like fall. We had a really nice time , visited family, did some family research and just enjoyed a wonderful vacation. My pictures are on here backwards, but for the most part it doesn't really matter. I hope you will enjoy my pictures and leave your comments. I hope you can see the fall colors and enjoy them as much as we did.
As I said earlier, my pictures are on here backwards. On the way back we stopped at JR's which is a huge warehouse type store near Selma, North Carolina. They sell everything you could possibly want--cigarettes, perfumes, books, clothing, dolls, the list is endless. This is one of the dolls we bought. This doll was inspired by the following poem by Jenny Joseph:
Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
This is a smaller doll Mike bought in an antique store that matches a much larger one we bought at JRs.
This is the larger doll.
We also bought some things at home to show we are still Baltimore fans.
Although it looks blue in some of the pictures I took of it, the flamingo is actually purple.
I got a Ray Lewis Jersey.
We also went to the Utz Potato Chip Company in Pennsylvania and I got a t-shirt and Utz bear.
And I got a Ravens t-shirt and pants to wear as PJs.
On the way to and from Baltimore we stayed at a new Hilton Garden Inn in Roanoke Rapids. This is the lobby
They even had Halloween decorations in the lobby.
This is the hallway outside our room.
This was the waiting area for the elevator and behind the door was the ice machine and other snack machines.
We had a jacuzzi.
This was the living room area.
This was looking from the bedroom area to the door.

As I said the hotel was brand new and there was very little around it.
We took a picture of the Marlboro sign on 95
The day we left we went to Annapolis to go to Chick and Ruth's deli.
About 45 minutes after leaving Annapolis we realized were had no idea where we were. We were in a huge traffic jam and we suddenly saw the White House in the distance. We knew we were in trouble.
This is a picture of the Lincoln Memorial.
I have no idea what this is or why I put it in here.

Chick and Ruth's Delly in Annapolis, Maryland.
When I worked in the Comptroller's office in Annapolis, one of the other girls in my office and I used to go to Chick and Ruths frequently for lunch
The pictures on the walls are of famous people who have eaten there. The delly has sandwiches named after politicians and big name people. My favorite is the Main Street, but there were also Marvin Mandells and Louis Goldsteins when I worked in Annapolis.
Other than more pictures on the walls, new sandwiches with different names and different people working there, this delly has not changed in 40 years. The original Chick and Ruth have both passed away and now their chiildren run the store. The food is delicious and I still love going there.
The Maryland Inn in Annapolis has been there forever.
It is on the corner of Main Street and Duke of Glouster Street.
At one time, many years ago they used to have a sign in their window that they were off-limits to the Naval Academy Midshipmen.

They have the best foot long hotdogs I've ever tasted.

We went to dinner at an Irish Pub with my cousin Jane and her husband, Tom.

We visited the National Shrine of Mother Elizabeth Seton.
She is the first American Saint, and founded the Sisters of Charity.
Mother Seton Shrine
This is the first statue of Mother Seton erected in the United States. It was blessed on September 27, 1950, by Bishop John M. McNamara, Auxillary Bishop of Washington, and unveiled by Francesca Senese-Santoponte of Leghorn, great-great ggranddaughter of Antonio Filicchi. It was transferred to this site in 1980.
Elizabeth Bayley was born to a wealthy family in New York. Eventually she fell in love with and married William Seton. They had several chidren, but then William's business and health failed. They moved to Italy and stayed with Antono Fillicchi and his family. William eventually died and Elizabeth came back to New York. Her children were grown and she decided to become Catholic and to enter the convent. All of her friends and family abandoned her, but Antonio Fillicchi remained supportive of her .

This is the new Utz building and where they make Utz Potato chips, and other snacks. You can tour the place, but it was getting late and we didn't take the tour.
The Utz Manufacturing Company.
The old Utz Building is only a couple blocks away from the new building. The old building now houses an outlet store for their products.

We went to a small town in Pennsylvania named McSherrystown.
My great grandfather had a sister who became a nun. Family lore had it she was a Sister of Charity and was in Emmetsburg and my great grandfather used to take my grandmother to see her. She was also said to have taught at St. Joseph's Academy in McSherrystown. We found St. Joseph's and went to the convent and told the nuns what we were looking for. They told us she was probably buried in the cemetery on the grounds.
We found the cemetery with no problem. It is a small cemetery with only about 60 graves in it.
The nuns told me they are planning to do some renovations starting in the spring of 2011.
All of the headstones are very old. I was told they used other cemeteries in the area now.
And in the back, the next to last row, second headstone in, we found Sister Mary Peter Farrell.
On the way home we rode up to Sabillasville.
At one time this was known as the Maryland TB Hospital.
My grandfather (my mother's father) had TB and spent a lot of time here.
Most of it is now closed and boarded up.
There is a part still open and it is known as the Victor Cullen Center, named after a former Maryland Medical Examiner.
The part of the buildings that are used is a school for deliquent boys.
As we sat in the car I could imagine my grandfather walking the grounds of the hospital and wanting to come home to his family.
When we went to Pennsylvania we crossed the Mason-Dixon Line. Maryland is below the Mason-Dixon Line and is the northern-most southern state.
We also went to Gettysburg Battlefield. This is the monument to the 15th and 50th New York Engineers.
This is an explanation of the Pensylvannia State Memorial.
On September 27, 1910, Pennsylvanians who had fought at Gettysburg returned for the dedication of this memorial in their honor. Built of Mt. Airy granite, it stands 110 feet high, weighs 3,840 tons, and can be seen from many parts of the battlefield. It is Gettysburg's largest monument.
Listed on 90 bronze tablets along the base are the names of each of the 34,530 Pennsylvania soldiers who participated in the battle.

The Trostle House
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickles for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
This is a smaller doll Mike bought in an antique store that matches a much larger one we bought at JRs.

This is an explanation of the Pensylvannia State Memorial.1. Goddess of Victory and Peace by Philadelphia sculptor Samuel Murray. The Colossal bronze figure holds the sword of victory and the palm branch of peace.
2. Above the triumphal arches are massive granite bas-reliefs by Samuel Murray representing the infantry, artillery, cavalry and the signal corps.
3. The names of the disguinshed Pennsylvania generals who commanded an army, corps, or division at Gettysburg are inscribed in the cornice. Brigade commanders are recorded inside the arches.
4. Between the Ionic columns stand heroic-scale bronze statues of President Abraham Lincoln,
Pennsylvania Governor Andrew Curtin, and six Pennsylvania Generals: Meade, Reynolds, Hancock, Pleasanton, Birney, and Gregg.
5. Bronze tablets bear the names and ranks of every Pennsylvania soldier who participated in the Battle of Gettysburg. Each tablet represents a regiment (about 400 officers and men). Names of soldiers who were killed are preceded with a star.
On September 27, 1910, Pennsylvanians who had fought at Gettysburg returned for the dedication of this memorial in their honor. Built of Mt. Airy granite, it stands 110 feet high, weighs 3,840 tons, and can be seen from many parts of the battlefield. It is Gettysburg's largest monument.
Listed on 90 bronze tablets along the base are the names of each of the 34,530 Pennsylvania soldiers who participated in the battle.
Pennsylvania also erected 123 regimental monuments at other locations on the battlefield. The southern states did not provide monuments for each regiment, but honored their sons with statewide memorials, many of which may be seen along West Confederate Avenue.
"Today we dedicate a memorial erected by the commonwealth as an enduring mark of love and appreciation for all the soldiers of Pennsylvania who fought here."

Tammany RegimentThe Tammany Society became involved in recruiting a regiment which fought near the Copse of Trees the afternoon of July 3. Perhaps the most controversial regimental monument, it features a large bronze wigwam and a statue of an Indian Warrior, Chief Tamenend. Tamenend was the leading Chief of the Delaware Indians when the Colony of Pennsylvania was originally settled. His bravery, skills, courage and diplomacy were legendary. Tammany Societies were formed in several areas, the one in New York dating from 1786. Originally a patriotic and charitable organization, it eventually became associated with party politics. When the Society organized the 42nd New York it was quickly known as the "Tammany Regiment", and its members were called braves.

Gettysburg AddressNearby, Nov. 19, 1863, in dedicating the National Cemetery, Abraham Lincoln gave the address which he had written in Washington and revised after his arrival at Gettysburg the evening of Nov. 18.
Beginning with this picture,there are several pictures of scenery. There are some from Western Maryland, in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains. Others were taken at the Gettysburg Battlefield and in the area of Pennsylvania around the Battlefield. Some were taken as we drove along the highways between here and Maryland and where ever we went in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The colors were fantastic
Even driving along the highway. Look At that beautiful sky!
More from the car.
Even more from the car=
Look at that red tree--it was georgous
I think this was at the Mother Seton Shrine
This was at a rest stop on the way to Maryland
Beautiful yellow tree
This sunflower was at the Shrine of Mother Seton. I love Sunflowers.
You can see this was taken from inside the car on our way to Pennsylvania.
Another picture taken from inside the car.
Is that red tree not georgous????
Some of the trees were partly changed, but even they were pretty.
The evening skies cooperated.
Everywhere we went it was just beautiful.
Like I said, some trees were partially turned, but they still looked so pretty and made it really feel like fall.
Yellows, reds, golds were everywhere.
I felt so much like I was at home and loved all the color and cool air and no humidity.
The trees were absolutely beautiful
No matter where you looked
In the distance are the Pocono Mountains
More of the Poconos and farmland.
More farmland.
Farmland
More farmland
The weather was beautiful. We only had one day of rain, and it was cool enough to require a light jacket or sweater.
Beautiful
Farmland
As before, even the skies cooperated.
More color
More color close up
This was on the Gettysburg Battlefield.
I think if you enlarge this picture you will see the color in that line of trees
Both sides of the road was nothing but color

Catherine Fahey Wimpling had a boarding house here at one time
1018 Pratt Street, Baltimore where Catherine Fahey Wimpling had a boarding house
The cellar leading down into Catherine Fahey Wimpling's house on Pratt Street.
1002 Pratt Street where Catherine Fahey Wimpling also lived at one time.
Catherine Fahey Wimpling's house at 1002 Pratt Street, Baltimore.
The red house on the left was where Joseph Wimmpling and his wife Alice lived. Joseph was my grandfather's brother.
The house with the fence in front used to have a chain link fence. It was alled the "Garden House" by the neighbors because there was a garden in the front yard
This was Uncle Joe's and Aunt Alice's house on Carey Street, Uncle George and Aunt Agnes lived across the street at 113 South Carey (Uncle George was my grandmother's brother) and my grandmother lived at 109 South Carey Street
Uncle Joe's and Aunt Alice's house on Carey Street
As we were driving around one day we saw the National Bohemian Brewery
This was one of their slogans.
Colt 45 was their Malt Liquor
Stag was another of their beverages.
That's Nattie Boh on the top of the building.
National Boh came from "the land of pleasant living".
