I've got to say, I haven't done as many of the things on this half of the list as I have on the other half of the list. I see more road trips in my future! Many of these things are considered to be staples
51) See the Iron Birds at Ripken Stadium
 |
| Apples from the Orchards! |
52) Tour the Havre de Grace Historic District
53) Bike or Jog the NCR Trail
This is a perennial favorite, and we go here every year. Not only to pick fruit, but to eat at the restaurant and pick up veggies, pies, and plants.
55) Hike the C & O Canal Towpath in Cumberland
I haven't hiked the towpath, but I have explored the endpoint of the towpath. It is beyond beautiful.
I love BWI! Very nice airport, easy to navigate, and friendly staff!
57) Hit the trails around Loch Raven Reservoir
58) Join the Crowd at Pimlico for Preakness
59) Go to HonFest
I've been to the Hon Cafe in Hampden, but I've never been to HonFest.
60) Run (or cheer) for the Baltimore Running Festival
61) See the Fourth of July Fireworks at the Inner Harbor
What is the big deal about Calvert Cliffs? You can walk the shore and find fossils. Way cool way to spend a day! I've never actually found any fossils, because the last time I went I was too busy making certain that my kids didn't fall into the water or drown.
64) Explore the Great Allegheny Passage
 |
| Fall Color in Western Maryland. The picture doesn't do this justice. |
65) Explore historic St. Mary's City
66) Visit the Piney Point Lighthouse
67) Visit the Calvert Marine Museum
This is a must see and do!
69) See a movie at Bengie's Drive In
70) Visit Crystal Grottoes Caverns in Boonsboro
71) Tour the Green Mountain Cemetery
72) Visit Geppi's Entertainment Museum
73) Play the vintage pinball machines at Crabtowne in Glen Burnie
74) Ride the antique carousel at Glen Echo Park
75) Eat raw oysters in Lexington Market
76) Ride the miniature trains at Leakin Park
77) Ride the streetcars at the Baltimore Street Car Museum
78) Tour the Hampton Mansion in Towson
79) Visit the Poe Grave and Westminster Catacombs
80) Watch a movie at the Maryland Film Festival
81) Visit the Bucktown Village Store, the site of Harriett Tubman's First Act of Defiance
82) Visit the Reginald F. Lewis Museum
83) Explore the shops at Harbor East
If you head West on Interstate 70, it separates out in the Western part of the state. You can either go north into PA on 70, or continue West on 68 through Western Maryland and West Virginia. Sideling Hill is a huge mountain that had a cut made through in order to facilitate road travel. Not only is the view gorgeous, but when you are standing on the observation platform above the road, you can look out over the hill and see the layers of stone, and how they are pushed up. It's a unique look into the geological history of the mountain!
85) Ride the Tred Avon Ferry in Oxford, followed by dinner at the Robert Morris Inn
87) Walk across the Conowingo Dam
I've never walked across, but I have driven across. Does that count?
I'm not sure my fear of heights would allow me to walk across - although I did manage the Brooklyn Bridge a couple of years ago.
89) Attend a Johns Hopkins Lacrosse Game
90) Eat a Gino's Giant
91) Watch My Lady's Manor Steeplechase
92) Visit the old city pier in Fell's Point where "Homicide, Life on the Street" was shot.

94) Attend a performance by the Arena Players
95) Go to Market (Lexington Market, Cross Street Market, etc.)
97) Get a Burger and Beer at Mother's in Federal Hill
98) Drive Charles Street from Downtown Baltimore to the County Line
