This afternoon I packed up all my awesome swag from Fitbloggin …
and said good-bye to this lovely view.
But, it wasn’t all sad – our friends Matt and Kristin came to pick us up. They and we used to hang out with them all the time when we lived out here. We are staying with them tonight
The first order of business – lunch!
We started with the cheesy crab dip. This is not healthy in any way. But when in Rome, do as the Romans Maryland eat crab in any way shape or form that you can.
I got a salad with a crab cake. It was amazing.
Then we enjoyed the gorgeous day and walked around the Baltimore Harbor.
Kristin is pregnant! Is it in the water or something?! With the rate I drink, I’m in trouble!
After walking around for over an hour catching up we decided Rita’s Italian Ice was the only way this day could get better.
We headed back to Matt and Kristin’s exhausted. I was falling asleep on the drive to their place! After some down time I was ready for dinner.
The weather is too too pretty! We ate outside
My plate had pasta, salad and bread sticks.
At some point Matt brought out his B.B. Gun. I have never been curious to shoot a gun, but it was right there so I tried it.
I hit the can on try #3. I might become a sniper if this whole blogger thing doesn’t work out
We were planning on a bonfire after dinner.The pregnant Kristin suggested S’mores for dessert. Who am I to deny a craving, right?
I had a marshmallow smore, then had a genius idea… use a banana instead of a marshallow. (Note this isn’t to be healthy, this is to be awesome as I prefer banana to ‘mellows.)
Graham crackers, melted chocolate and roasted banana…
I pray today is not really the end of the world (and if it is that God takes me to Heaven). But if it is, I had the most awesome last day on earth!

OMG RITA’S IS MY FAVORITE ICE CREAM EVER. We don’t have one anywhere near me, though, so it is a rare treat.
Roasted banana s’more is simply brilliant.
Ida says
Banana s’more sounds dreamy! looks like a great day all around
Kristi says
Check out all that FitBloggin swag! *Jealous face*
Banana smores sound delicious. I love bananas when they are heated up a little.
Amber K says
I love making banana boats, grilling the bananas over the fire with mini marshmallows and chocolate stuffed inside. I need to go camping soon! I don’t know why but they just taste better that way.
Trisha says
All of your pictures made me really want to plan a trip to Baltimore! The banana usage instead of a marshmallow is brilliant. I think I may use a banana AND marshmallow next time. I use a reeses up instead of hershey’s already, so it’ll be a banana, mallow, pb, chocolate, graham cracker explosion! 🙂

Love the visionary arts museum! Thanks to your pic I will not have to run out and grab a dozen steamed crabs…(i’m blaming you..but it’s a good thing;)

Banana S’mores….Monica you may have just started the next food trend. I am not kidding. Seriously, genius.

when i was little i thought the verse, “oh say can you see” meant, literally, say the words “can you see.” it never meant sense to me … yes, i rode the short bus.
roasted bananas & chocolate sound good but i’m all about the straight up BURNED marshmallows. i didn’t even eat the graham crackers when i was a kid. i’d just torch those pillows of sugar & scald my mouth w/ their molten lavas of loooooove. oh that sounds dirty.
megan @ the oatmeal diaries says
That crab dip looks awesome and the banana s’mores looks even better! Glad you’re enjoying yourself!!
Kelly says
Roasted banana sounds delicious. So does a normal S’more WITH banana. And now I’m craving s’mores…..
