Frederick Maryland Online Forum
A place for Frederick residents to chat about whatever they want.
Where can my DH and I go for a day that's within about a 2-hr drive of Frederick? We're not really outdoorsy/types. We like to explore interesting little towns, but we're not into antiques or historic battlefields or county fairs. Maybe we should head to Baltimore or DC - we haven't lived in this region very long, so we haven't explored Baltimore or DC much yet. Any suggestions?

Do you like chocolate and/or a great amusement park? Hershey Park isn't that far away.

You might also try Fredericksburg, VA. A bit more of the Civil War and Antique market theme, but a lot of nice little shops and eateries (about 1.5 hours, but take the scenic route down 15 to 17).

Another nice place is Ellicott City, the historic district. Little shops and such, less than an hour the other direction.
45 minutes down US 15 is Leesburg. Check out the Lightfoot restaurant, really nice.
Harrisburg PA is an hour 10 minutes up 15 and is a nice daytrip. We packed a picnic lunch and ate at the city island park. The capital area is beautiful.

St Micheal's is beautiful. It's about 45 minutes over the Bay Bridge, so under 2 hrs from Frederick. If you're worried about crowds, have no fears. There is no traffic to speak of once you get across the Bridge. Definitely not in town. There isn't a whole lot to do there except a Maritime Museum and a couple of nice restaurants. It's not over run with touristy crap, yet.
I was there for a conference a few years ago and really enjoyed fishing off the piers and watching the Crab boats come in at the crack of dawn.
I was meeting with a couple of business associates from Germany in Baltimore and they asked where they could go and that's where I told them to go. They loved it.

and when you go to Baltimore, don't miss the Visionary Art Museum. My favorite museum ever, anywhere.

Walk along the docks, eat crab cakes, tour the Naval academy, rent a boat and get out on the water.
