One of the hottest boating destinations, if you can wrangle an invitation or if you own a boat, is the Baltimore Inner Harbor. And baseball is a big part of the cruise.
"You're in the city and the stadium is so accessible -- you can see it," says Joanne Distasi of Medford, NJ.
I ran into Joanne and Dan Distasi last week at the Inner Harbor Marina (photo below). Both our boats had cruised in for a Baltimore getaway, allowing us to watch the Orioles beat the Reds.
The marina is a short walk or cab ride to the classic Camden Yards ball park. Dan says they try to make the run twice a year.
"Even though we're Phillies fans, it's great seeing a game here in Baltimore," he says.
So when the Phillies play here in Baltimore, the engines are revved up and the course is set.

Part of the attraction is some pretty incredible stadium food. We'll have a taste on our next "Getaway."
