Charles Street Promenade didn’t disappoint! The 1200-1400 blocks offered lots of fun activities for kids. It reminded me of Artscape but without the huge crowds. Plus, perfect weather today!

Happy Flag Day! Timehop reminded me that it’s been 10 years since I had the pleasure of interning under the incomparable Erin Blasco at National Museum of American History during the the Star-Spangled Banner bicentennial commemorations.

I’ve visited 5 schools in SE Baltimore in the past 2 weeks and it’s been such a pleasure to get to know these educators and school communities. Baltimore is fortunate to have these hard-working folks here!

This story and their new/old take on snowballs is quite the talk of the town. A link to this story generated 100+ comments on our neighborhood FB group in the past 5 hours!

As a former NHD participant and Maryland History Day assistant coordinator, I loved turning on CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 to see a feature on Cathy Gorn and National History Day Day, now in its 50th (!) year. So glad to see this program being introduced to a broad audience.

I’ve been working hard on this series for the past few weeks and am proud that it debuts today!

Greetings from Marseille! 🇫🇷 We brought along some favorite bedtime books featuring The Pigeon (as well as a Pratt Library copy of Nanette’s Baguette) to watch the Olympics in France. It’s always nice to hear a familiar story after a busy day of new sights and sounds.

We represented Baltimore at the Olympics this morning by bringing our Star Spangled Banner flag (of Fort McHenry and The Flag House fame, of course) to cheer on the track & field athletes at Stade de France in Paris!

I was there with Elmo’s #1 fan today but we missed him!

Wow, team USA ended the Olympic track competition in the most dramatic fashion! Very impressive.

We had a 24-hour stopover in Iceland and loved visiting the Perlan - Wonders of Iceland in Reykjavik. The immersive films (such as the “guaranteed Northern Lights” in the Planetarium), high-tech interactives, and amazing views (plus, ice cream) made this perfect for our brief stay.

Wow, I joined this platform 15 (!) years ago today. Not sure it’s cause for celebration, but it’s something!

I did some forestbathing in Herring Run this morning. I was reminded what a gem this park is, and how fortunate I am to have it in my backyard.

👏 for my very photogenic fellow Program Manager, Deandra!
