March 16 - 18
Laurel Park in Baltimore, Maryland
On Friday March 16th I flew out of Fort Lauderdale International around 9 am and landed in Baltimore where my good buddy Jim Anderson had just arrived from Minnesota. We had booked a Marriott Residence Inn minutes from the airport, and less than fifteen minutes to Laurel Park.
