Weekend in Maryland

Vacations can be a quick weekend or weeks in Europe, there is no minimum length or distance you have to go. Sometimes the best vacation is a quick get away close to home. We plan a big vacation every couple of years or so, but we also plan little weekend get aways regularly. I find the quick weekend just a couple hours from home can be more enjoyable than a week or more traveling. These trips take just a day or two of vacation time and can be done for a few hundred dollars.

So, pick a weekend and find a hotel or bed and breakfast to just get away.  We recently stayed at the Whitehaven hotel near Salisbury, MD. This historic bed and breakfast was just beautiful and the prefect weekend getaway. The hotel is on the Wicomoco River and is close to Roaring Point Park. The hotel provides kayaks for guests so you can enjoy the river or you can drive just a few minutes to the beach at Roaring Point, great fishing there too. The area has a few vineyards as well to enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting if that is your interest.

When searching for these out of the way places make sure you research the area. This hotel is right on the river and there is a ferry, but that ferry stops at high tide every day. We knew this and did call ahead to confirm the ferry was running on our travel day, but we didn’t take into account the high tide. So, after 4 hours of driving we got to the ferry only 10 minutes to late. There is nothing worse that sitting in your car looking at the hotel just 40 feet away and knowing you now have another 45 minutes of drive time necessary.
