Locust Point
The Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine is where our national anthem was born during the War of 1812. It currently features a museum as well as a park. The museum has a short video inside that is very much worth watching and makes you feel "Proud to be an American." Then you can explore the Fort. Afterwards, walk the 1-mile path around the Fort for one of my favorite strolls in Baltimore.
Baltimore's Waterfront Promenade
The Baltimore Waterfront Promenade is a beautiful eight-mile paved trail built in the 1960s that goes through Canton, Fells Point, Harbor East, Inner Harbor, and Federal Hill. You can extend this to Locust Point and Fort McHenry if you so desire. This promenade is what started this blog; the sights took our breath away and really made me question why people are afraid of visiting this strikingly-beautiful city. This promenade makes for a great running path for those who run long-distances.
