I had the privilege of traveling to one of my favorite places this past week.
Its not the Caribbean nor a big city full of excitement.

Its a simple, calm, peaceful retreat.
There is no boardwalk for people to overtake. There are gift shops but only a few.
No amusement park, nor Broadway shows.
The place that I enjoy spending alot of my time is Chincoteague, VA. Many say, "How boring", and that is one reason I love it soo. It isn't a tourist trap, or crowded with millions of visitors a year. Its a small hometown with a beach. You spend your mornings riding your bike, looking at the beautiful marsh filled with birds, turtles and ponies. Your afternoons are spend at the calm beach of Assateague. If your looking for a refreshment stand.. not going to find it..
My family of 6spent 7 days on Chincoteague island.

And yes we have teenagers!! 4 of them.

Did they complain they had nothing to do??? Nope! The only complaint came the day we had to leave. Yes my car is full of sand, but more importantly it is full of family memories.
Oh yeah... I almost forgot to mention... We survived without a......

My friend Bob Carney said it clearly in his blog "friday-foto-is-for-fond-memories".

Visitors more interested in recreation will enjoy the incredible scenic views and amenities found at Greenbrier State Park and Washington Monument State Park. Collective offerings include picnicking, hiking, biking, and horse trails, camping, fishing, swimming, boating, and more. The Potomac River, which borders the region, is also a constant attraction. White water rafting, canoeing, and kayaking craft can be rented for individual use or guided tours. Land lubbers may opt for the scenic beauty of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal trail. In addition to providing insight into 19th century transportation and trade, the Canal is great for hiking, biking and picnicking. The southwestern region is also known for a host of small towns, each with their own offerings. Kids of all ages will enjoy the Brunswick Railroad Museum located in an authentic railroad town; gardeners can explore the lily and fish ponds at nationally-known Lily Pons, south of Buckeystown; Civil War fans, and well, ghostbusters, will want to take in the guided tours at Landon House mansion, site of General JEB Stuart's Sabers and Roses Ball in 1862. Regardless of your given proximity in the southwestern region, you're always just minutes away from a major historic site. Just beyond the Frederick County border is historic Harpers Ferry, WV, and the Antietam National Battlefield in Sharpsburg, MD. Immediately to the south, in Gaithersburg, MD, is the Shady Grove Metro, which will whisk you away for a day of sightseeing in Washington, DC. Stay with us and see it all! |
I am not only a Real Estate Professional in the Brunswick area, I am also a resident. Many tend think of Brunswick as a that town far out there on many hills and cliffs. I am hear to tell you they are wrong! Yes, indeed some homes have very little property and may be on the side of a hill, but there are MANY places that do not. Take a look around my website and you will get a better feel of the area and realize it can be your hometown as well. If you have any further concerns or questions after reading this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Brunswick, Maryland is just a short drive approximately, 45 miles from Washington D.C., the Nation's Capital. The town's roots are rich in history with the establishment of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In the 1890's Brunswick became the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's major freight yard for the east-west line. Population of the town multiplied tenfold in 1896 and thrived because of the railroad.
When visiting Brunswick, you can stop by the Brunswick Railroad museum to learn more about the B & O line and the way of life of the railroaders.
In 2005, Brunswick earned Maryland Mainstreet status. Brunswick Mainstreet sponsors many events and activities in the historic district, including First Fridays. Shops downtown stay open for late evening shopping and many family activities are planned on the first Friday of every month. Visit the Brunswick Mainstreet website to learn more.
Brunswick offers other fun activities including camping, biking on the C & O Canal, or just participating in some of our local events. Every year the annual Great Brunswick River Race offers adventure to those who want to create their own boat and race down the Potomac River.
In October the town hosts Railroad Days which takes place with music, festivities and train rides.
Check out our events calendar for other fun activities, we hope to see you soon in Brunswick.
