Rudy and the Wedding

Our legislative director was getting hitched in Baltimore. The office was given Friday off so we could make the trek out there in time for the 5:00 nuptials. The scheduler and I were taking the train from Union Station. While waiting against the wall for her, I noticed this important looking man walk by. It took me just a quick second to register that Rudy Giuliani was passing in front of me. I was too shocked by the fact that Rudy was in Union Station to even try chasing after him to say hi. So I smiled extra hard and hoped that he caught that. I immediately emailed Michelle and told her about my sighting.

We got to our hotel in Baltimore and put on our fancy attire. Because of traffic, we barely made it to the church on time. In fact, we walked down the aisle just seconds before the bride. The wedding was at the Basilica, which is absolutely beautiful!!! As was the ceremony.

The reception was at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, which is right on the harbor. It was a gorgeous setting and everything about the evening was awesome. Most of us from work were in the far back corner. We felt like the kids table at Thanksgiving time. They split half of us up, probably for the best. The food was great, the dancing fun, the libations flowing, and the people merry. A fine combination for a great time.

After a late night of merriment, we got a late start to the day. We weren’t in any hurry to leave Baltimore and wanted to see what the city had to offer. Our hotel was super close to the harbor, so we walked in that direction and eventually made our way to the Maryland Science Center. “Body Worlds 2” was currently on display and since the three of us hadn’t seen it, we decided to take a peek at the innards of the human body. Boy was it crazy!!!

I really can’t give much detail to the Body Worlds display. It’s really one of those things that you just have to see.


After staring at cross sections of dead bodies, we had a hankering for some food. So we strolled along the harbor until we came to a Mexican Cantina place. We wanted to sit outside and dine and so did all of the pigeons. They don’t really make good company.

After a satisfying lunch, we headed back to the district.
