My cousin, Rosie, from Australia, visited the United States last week for the very first time and her major desire was to see her very first baseball game and to eat an original hot dog! I flew back to Arlington, VA to see my mom and was joined by my sister and niece from South Carolina. We travelled to Baltimore to stay with my younger sister.
Our days were filled with a visit to the downtown farmer's market - incredible produce! The highlight of the trip was the Baltimore Orioles vs. Washington Nationals baseball game. My cousin, Rosie and her friend, Helen, both school teachers in Australia, had never attended an American baseball game. What a treat for us to explain the game of baseball, watch her eat her very first hot dog and then watch her have a chili cheese dog as well!
We had wonderful tickets which allowed us into the air-conditioned level....good thing because the temperature outside was over 102 degrees.
And then....there was the very first bite of an American hot dog!
Baltimore won the game that day....what a wonderful family excursion!
