Have a Lazy Time Chilling at St Michaels near Baltimore

St Michaels on Chesapeake Bay is a signature home of seafood restaurants and gift shops. This is a pleasant seventy-mile meander from Baltimore, freeing happy hours for a sailboat ride, or a visit to Hooper Strait Lighthouse, one of the remaining screw pile lights. Nowadays she is on dry land but still has a magnificent story to tell.

A visit to the Baltimore region would be poorer without a visit to Gettysburg, site of the costliest battle in the American Civil War. Wandering through the memorials provides an opportunity to contemplate over gallantry of so many fine young people. There are 40 miles of scenic roads and 1,400 monuments, marks, and memorials that commemorate the battle.

Stop By at George Washington’s Mansion at Mount Vernon

Mount Vernon 52 miles away from Baltimore was the plantation house of George Washington, the first president of the United States and his wife. The fourteen-room mansion offers great glimpses of post-colonial life. The classical architectural style belies a study that trebled as bathroom, dressing room, and office. This is quite a contrast to the modern White House.

A visit to Baltimore would be incomplete, without stopping by at Great Falls Park on the way back to your comfortable campsite. Great Falls is a series of steep, jagged rocks that flow through the narrow Mather Gorge. There are a variety of recreation activities including cycling, rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, and picnicking.

We now have a difficult choice to make. Do we return to Baltimore, or head for Washington not far away. There are few greater freedoms than a recreational vehicle holiday where we can reschedule every morning, or stick to our original plan.
