One of the best things about living in Baltimore is the variety of choices you have - and I'm not just talking about the great restaurants, nightlife and shopping in the city. We are less than an hour from DC, just a couple hours from Philly and New York, and within three hours you can be at the beach or the beautiful mountains.
My Other and I recently took a day trip to beautiful St. Michaels on the eastern shore. This quaint little town is the kind of place you read about in books. The houses are charming, the streets clean, and the shop keepers are friendly.

There are plenty of places to eat at, some right on the water so you can enjoy the coastal view as you dine on crab cakes. We ate lunch that day at the Key Lime cafe which is perfectly situated on the main street running through St. Michaels, which makes it a great spot to rest up between shopping. The food was fresh and delicious!
St. Michaels is also home to St. Michaels winery, so after lunch, shopping and site seeing we hit the winery to do a tasting of one of their "flights"
The tasting are pretty cheap and you can also buy wine by the glass and enjoy it out on their little deck. Make sure you ask for a complementary cheese plate when you go! We also picked up a couple of bottles of their Chocolate Zin for Holiday gifts, so yummy! They even wrap them up for free!
For those of you not into wine there is also the Eastern Short Brewing Company right around the corner. On our way back home to Baltimore we stopped by the Queenstown Outlets. I mean, it's right there, it would have been a shame not to have stopped, right?
The one good thing about shopping with a man is that I have someone to hold all my packages. And if you keep them fed, they can't open their mouth to complain. All in all, a great trip!
