This weekend we actually stayed in town (for just a second) so we could head to National Harbor bright and early Saturday morning for the Chesapeake Crab and Beer Festival. This was the first time we’d ever been to National Harbor, which is the weird “inner harbor” like area for DC that was just built. [...]

After our fantastic experience at the Great Halloween Lantern Parade last year, Noel and I knew we just had to go back again. Thanks to a last minute cancellation with the ghost tour, Noel was able to make it for the whole parade and festival (yay!) Unfortunately, due to my problem shopping at the mall, [...]

I’m back! Sorry for the prolonged absence, but the end of my time in Florida didn’t go exactly as I had planned. Instead of eating in a fantastic French Canadian Steakhouse and then meeting the Baked boys over a champagne brunch, I got to spend some quality time in my hotel room laid low with [...]

This weekend, Noel, a bunch of friends, and I decided to hit up the Maryland Wine Festival. Despite the fact that I grew up 12 miles from where the Wine Festival is held and I went to college just down the street, we had never actually managed to make it to the festival. But willing [...]

I think most cities have some way of officially kicking off the holiday season. In DC it’s lighting the National Christmas tree and opening the White House for Christmas. In New York it’s lighting the big tree in Rockefeller Center. In Baltimore, we kick off our annual holiday festivities by lighting up our Washington Monument. [...]
