BlancNoir

Our bathroom
Last Friday I posted that we were staying here, and even though I already had great expectations for this place, they far exceeded them! The location was so charming right in Little Italy in Baltimore and after a huge serving of drooling gnocchi at a Chiaparelli's, it was nice to "roll" into bed. The beds were beyond amazing and extremely comfortable, and the shower was to die for - this might explain why we opted to go to bed at 10 PM. The owners greeted us with wine and fruit options after dinner, and served a full breakfast the next morning. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone coming to Baltimore. The location was also perfect for a stroll into Inner Harbor or any other destination downtown.

Our super comfy bed! I loved the modern decor - not something you see in most B&B's

The common area outside of our room which held a mini fridge stocked with plenty of drinks and snacks

Eastern Market

Sunday after my parents left, Shayne and I headed down to the flea market/farmer's market in Eastern Market near Capitol Hill. We usually go to the ones near our neck of the woods but they were all held on Saturday while we were at graduation. There was a ton of great jewelry, produce, and meats at this market (and a great place to grab a bite) so we'll probably try to frequent this one more often. I even picked up some fresh peonies for my sisters for Mother's Day!
