The Walters Art Museum is an amazing way to spend an afternoon! It holds a special place in our heart, as it was the location of our first date! Located right next to the Peabody and Hotel Indigo we highly recommend you make time to visit. Admission is free!

What used to be the only Guinness brewery in the US, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery is a nice way to spend an afternoon. If you plan it out in advance, you can schedule a tour - but they fill up quickly. We haven't made it to the Chicago location yet, but if you've visited both, let us know what you think!

Nick's Fish House is where Anna, Audrey and CJ all tried their first raw oyster! In the summer, the outdoor patio area is the perfect place to try the cold seafood platter, a nice way to try a lot of different seafood. Or, to partake in a Maryland Crab feast where you crack open some crabs while listening to live music.

Birthplace of our National Anthem, what better time to visit than Independence day weekend?! Go anytime of day and weather permitting for some nice outdoor walking and sightseeing as you explore the interior or exterior of the fort.

Baltimore is home to the National Aquarium. Located at the Inner Harbor, you can easily spend a day here walking the harbor and the aquarium, while hoping into shops and places to eat. Check online for events and showtimes.

Check the website as more details develop, but the 4th of July firework show takes place over the Inner Harbor and starts around 9:30pm.

There are so many great places to hike in Maryland. From the Cunningham Falls State Park or the Great Falls Park on the Potomac between Virginia and Maryland, near D.C.

We recommend the Billy Goat Trail at the Great Falls Park, but check out the difficulty of each trail when choosing!

If you're traveling all the way to Baltimore, a nice way to spend a day is by jumping on the train at Penn Station and heading to Washington D.C. for the day! While there are many things to do in the city, walking the National Mall gives you the option of countless museums, monuments and sightseeing opportunities.

If you're making an extended trip, Ocean City, MD is a great way to visit the beach for those that have never seen the Atlantic Ocean. The further south on the peninsula, closer to the boardwalk, the crazier things get for the younger crowd. Overall, it will be more crowded over the holiday week / weekend, so plan accommodations early if you're interested!

Shenandoah National Park needs to be on everyone's bucket list. Joe and his dad, Scott, spent a week camping here and it holds a special place in his heart. Being about three hours south of Baltimore, consider spending a few days here or even just taking a drive down Skyline Drive. Hop over to Luray Caverns to explore the largest cavern in the Eastern United States.
