We leave Virginia May 4th, returning on the 8th of June. We'll have driven 7,000 miles or so... Middle route out, northern route back.

And lord knows, there are plenty of things/places to see in both cities.<br />But I live closest to Ellicott City, MD and it has several must see attractions:<br />lots of antique stores<br />Tea on the Tiber-for fantastic tea parties<br />B&O Railway station/museum<br />And did I mention antique stores?<br />The town is cleverly built on some very steep hills and there are lots of old, large houses to gawk at, as well as restored (and now pricey)mill worker houses. Plus several mills that have been converted into condos.<br />Ruins of Patapsco Female Institute--fancy girls' school from the 1800's. Grounds used in the summer for productions of Shakespeare.<br />And a number of very good restaurants.<br />Good walking shoes and stamina required (all those hills, remember?)Barb in Marylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374278685536530837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-48185675038073306872011-04-01T23:49:42.185-07:002011-04-01T23:49:42.185-07:00Kalispell, Montan

If there's time, we can go to The Brackney Inn for lunch. It's a dive -- you really think a bar brawl is about to break out. But the food is divine.<br /><br />Speaking of food, we love to take people to Patsel's for brunch. Just wonderful food in an exquisite setting.<br /><br />In the winter, Elk Mountain has pretty good skiing only 20 minutes away. (It' a dinky mountain by Vermont/Utah/Colorado standards, but I'm told its runs are still pretty good.)<br /><br />There's a nice Rail Trail to walk or bike along.<br /><br />Cooperstown is not too far, nor are the Finger Lakes.<br /><br />Train enthusiasts can go to Steamtown; in the summer there's a little steam train that goes to Moscow.Magdalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551590278859598110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-52121380334491538062011-04-01T11:09:15.675-07:002011-04-01T11:09:15.675-07:00Portland:
