Marylanders On Vacation

Winter 2011 was not nearly as bad in Maryland when compared to the year before, 6 inches to nearly 4 feet of snow. But it terms of rainfall and severe weather incidents, 2011 is shaping up to be the worst I have experienced in years. Despite some warm days, the cold doesn’t seem to want […]

CharlesTown, July 17 Part of our new and revamped vacation plans for 2010 calls for making short, drivable vacation trips. Charles Town, at only 45 minutes away, would certainly fit the bill. It is the site of the Hollywood Casino, and of course, horse races. We arrived at the Hollywood Casino around 8pm. Being a […]

Kings Dominion, June26, 2010 Our vacation this summer looks almost nothing what we had planned a year ago. We were going to go to stay a week at Williamsburg, Virginia which would make Virginia Beach, Busch Garden and other Parks within easy driving distance. Changes in the kids schedules among others makes it necessary for […]

Aug 9, 2009 Virginia Beach, Virginia Our first trip and certainly not our last to Virginia beach. The trip took A LOT longer than anticipated. This was mainly due to the volume of visitors and the traffic along I-95. You could not tell from the early morning pictures just how many people there were, the […]

July 10, 2009 Luray Caverns. This is a one day trip, again anothenoce, short adventure away from work. Don’t forget to visit the piano made of stalagtites and stalagmites! It was quite cold down there so do bring a jacket.

July 24, 2009 One thing we have never done is go to Napa Valley for a little wine tasting. A friend of ours recommended that we go to V. Sattui. A friend, to remain a friend, would not steer you wrong…and she didn’t.

July 22, 2009 Muir Woods. Never knew such wooded area excited so close to a major metropolitan area. A day is too short to visit Muir Woods, but if that is all the time you’ve got, then go ahead. We certainly did not regret it. Take caution though, there are a lot of bends and […]

July 22, 2009 San Francisco We never run out of reasons to visit San Francisco. This time, we had guest who have never been there and really excited to see the famous Golden Gate Bridge”

April 2009 That is right, 2009 and not 2010. April to be exact. The location, the nations capital. Washington DC is always a good choice for a quick and short vacation. Particularly in spring.

Time sure fly’s! I was sure I’ld be able to post all these pictures before 2009 ended but here it is, April and I am just about to begin. To make matters worse, I’ve probably forgotten much of the details. So, I hope you enjoy the pictures, links and just imagine being there.
