Delaware & Maryland

The Eastern Shore of Maryland is known for its legendary seafood, gorgeous beaches, and hidden treasures – and the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort is definitely one of those treasures. I keep saying it’s one of Maryland’s best kept secrets. This luxurious waterfront resort that is tucked away on Maryland’s scenic Eastern Shore offers relaxation and adventure for families,...

I’m writing from my room this morning at Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco in downtown Baltimore. My husband and I were invited to visit this unique boutique hotel that is housed in the historic former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad headquarters, and I’m so grateful to my mom for coming up to keep the kids so we could get away...
