<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1306572, member: 16948"]After the show, a group of us met back up at Shula’s bar before dinner. I made a quick stop at the ladies’ room and when I got back to our table, there was a woman sitting at our table chatting with Rick. I assumed she was in the coin industry but after she introduced herself she said she was alone at the bar, noticed Rick also sitting alone, and decided to “pick him up”! Actually, she was there for a health care convention, and her friend had other plans so she didn’t want to be in the bar by herself (which I completely understand). She was a delight and ended up joining us for the whole evening!</p><p> </p><p>After Shula’s, we all piled into one of the other dealer’s van who had driven to the show, but there were only seats for 4 and we now had 5 people, so of course, the new girl had to sit on someone’s lap!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01034.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>After Shula’s we headed to L.P. Steamers for dinner – wow! If you like seafood, this is the place to go! But don’t wear your best shirt, and be sure to use the bib they provide – also, you’ll need plenty of wipes when you’re through!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01025.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01016.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01019.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01020.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01032.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>This is what the table looked like when we were through – I’d hate to be the one who has to clean up this mess!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111117-01033.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>And they gave us this handy tool to thwack open the crab legs, but I think it would also be very handy to have at the shows to keep Todd in line – I call it a “Todd Behavior Correctional Device”!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Baltimore-20111119-01072.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Since we had such a great time last time we were in Baltimore, after dinner, we went back to Howl at the Moon down at the Power Plant district.
