As I wrote a response to Erin's current poll, I decided I wanted to share with you some of what makes my heart beat for Maryland.
1. Maryland Blue Crabs. They are a staple food of Maryland, if not THE staple of Maryland.
2. Small towns to big cities.
The rural Western Maryland spreads its horizon for farming while to the East and South, the district is all about business and politics. I grew up in Western Howard County (Glenelg, to be precise). My home is on a farm but a short jaunt in the car lands me in a municipal. In between WHC and Baltimore, there is Old Ellicott City, lending itself to the quaint at heart. Toward the south, we cross through Montgomery County before meeting D.C. I mention MoCo out of respect for my family and church.e! Our capital city, Annapolis is beautiful, to say the least.
3. Mountains, Fields, and the Ocean. What's not to love when you can have the best of all worlds? The hills of the Appalachian Mountain Range offer a beautiful realm of opportunity for hiking and biking . Spend an afternoon at Sugarloaf or a day at Cunningham Falls for a simple, relaxing time outdoors. From swimming in the Ocean to rafting down a River or fishing in the Bay, there are plenty of water-related activities offered across the State as well.
4. Baseball. Though Friday night student tickets have increased in price, it is still worth the trip downtown.
5. Four seasons.
Some of you who read my blog have never been to Maryland, or are now living in Maryland though you are from elsewhere. I did not do justice representing my State and all it has to offer, but hopefully, these few things will entice you to look further.
