those un-bulleted are done, but need to be done again.
As a Baltimoron (currently living in Philly), I would make some recommendations, except there's not really much to do in Baltimore. It's a great place to raise a family, but not much of a vacation site. So instead I'll recommend going to the National Gallery in DC. I went in 10th grade and still have vivid memories of loving that place.
shame on you, hon! you've got to have done some cool things while you were here. besides, I'm not really talking vacation site, I'm talking when you live here. Good call on the Smithsonian, though - one could spend weeks there. I went ice skating in the Gallery's sculpture garden last winter.
