Yes, Ripley is 6 weeks old, and we took her to her 3rd bar tonight. Here is a recount of where we've been so far. I think we'll keep a running list somewhere. If she is in Baltimore when she turns 21, she may want to use the list for a bar crawl.
BAR 1 - HENNINGER'S
Our first stop was at Henninger's last Tuesday or Thursday. I can't remember which, but Jack was working, so it had to be one of the two. Jack makes the best dirty martinis in town, according to Chad, and he always has a great story, which is important in your neighborhood bartender. Chad had the famed TV dinner (along with the dirty martini) and even shared his mashed potatoes with me. I had the portobello mushroom sandwhich. Ripley slept through almost the entire visit in her sling - the sling will continue to play an important role in our bar visits.
BAR 2 (7/10/2008) - LITTLE HAVANA
Chad's former colleagues from Kennedy Krieger meet up about twice a year for a happy hour reunion. A really nice bunch of folks who didn't realize we had an addition to the family,
so when we showed up with the baby in the car carrier, there were quite a few jaws to pick up off of the floor. The last time we saw them was in October, when we knew we were pregnant, but hadn't started telling anyone yet. I guess I thought Chad would have told at least one of them and the news would have spread, but it hadn't, and they gave him a hard time about it the entire time we were there. Once again, Ripley spent most of her time in the sling, but she did make it out for a couple of photos.
BAR 3 (7/11/2008) - BERTHA'SNo, she didn't have mussels - at least not yet. To celebrate Chad's school making Adequate Yearly Progress, we walked down to Fells Point for gelato at Pitango and for Bertha's Best Bitter at Bertha's. Did I mention she likes to spend time in her sling?
Stay turned for more bar adventures...
