A Charmed City

I've lived in Baltimore for 15 years. I've done a fair amount of sightseeing of my adopted home in that time. But I suspect that like so many longtime residents of a place, I've become complacent here. I drive past the landmarks without really seeing them. I rarely visit the renowned cultural institutions. Months will go by where I don't see the Chesapeake Bay, fingers of which stretch within miles of my home. The truth is, though, that this little town of ours has a heck of a lot to offer.

Our featured bloggers today, Megan and Lauren, have a keen eye for aesthetics, fashion, decorating, food; basically all things cultural. I am absolutely agog to see how they serve up our fair town. I just know they will make every single one of you wish you could move here. Or at least visit so we could hit all of the fun places they describe. So let's go see them!

Riding Through Virginia

We're back from our long holiday break. I hope all of our US BlogTrotters had a pleasant Thanksgiving. But now we're back on the road and heading down to the great state of Virginia. We're visiting a blogger who lives in the Appalachian Mountains in the southwestern part of the state. With a centuries long family history in the area, Sandra raises a rare breed of horses on her quiet farm.

Reading about Sandra's life makes me want to chuck the big city life. I have a feeling my big city husband might have something to say about that, though, so I'll just have to live vicariously through Sandra. In fact, let's all do that as we head on down to visit her at:

Please leave Sandra a comment and let her know we appreciate the tour!
