<p>This is picking up on the other Washington DC thread…</p>

<p>I’ll be flying into Washington and driving with D down to St Mary’s College (the one in Maryland). Really looking forward to the trip, and the warm weather!</p>

<p>Are there any towns or sights one might recommend for a stop on the way down? From the web, Solomon’s Island looks like a cute place.</p>

<p>Hi ChiSquare!
Long time, no “talk”!
Solomons Island is fun to walk around. I think it’s much more active in the summer, but it is peaceful and some cute shops.
Also - If you like to walk/hike: Calvert Cliffs is enjoyable. It might be a 2 mile walk from the parking lot to the cliffs along the water. Beautiful walk through the woods. At the water people mainly look for shark teeth. We had a wonderful time, but we are outdoorsy kind of people.

<p>While you’re in So. Md. go to Stoney’s (Broome’s Island or Prince Frederick) and get a crab cake. They’re a bit pricey but soooo outstanding. Solomon’s is pretty nice. If you’re there you might check out Calvert Marine Museum. Actually Stoney’s owns a place on Solomon’s too but I can’t remember the name of it.</p>

<p>Wharfrat, is this it?

S2 and I went here for lunch after our visit to SMCM and they have darned fine crabcakes! And for folks who decide to attend and are heading down there in late summer, there are roadside fruit and veggie stands all the way down. Get some peaches on your way there (and back). Bring extra napkins!</p>

<p>Yep, that’s it. Kingfishers is owned by Stoney’s. Their crab cake will make you want to sit down and write a song!</p>

<p>Thanks for those tidbits! D is staying overnight on campus, so I decided to treat myself to a B&B - and hopefully some of those crabcakes - on Solomon’s Island.</p>

<p>Calvert Cliffs sounds lovely - I would enjoy it, but I doubt the D would. If it stays light long enough in Maryland these days, maybe I’ll drive back to it after dropping her off at the college.</p>

<p>Looking forward to the trip!</p>
