I just came home from my office in Berlin and have been waiting to post these pictures all day long! Today, my fabulous coworkers and I walked to the historic Atlantic Hotel to have dinner in the Drummer's Cafe. The Atlantic Hotel is by far one of my favorite places to hang out in the Ocean City area. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this place. It's old, charming, beautiful and decorated perfectly! The Atlantic Hotel was built in 1895 in the village of Berlin, MD. The building has been owned by several families, each...

Ever drive past a place a hundred times and think, "I wonder what the story is?" That's the case with St. Martin's Church. I've looked at this simple little church so many times and knew nothing about it... except that once my Aunt Ellen said it was haunted when I was a little girl. I'm a sucker for architecture and history. After years of passing this building, I finally pulled a U-turn and stopped yesterday to check out the place and do some research! The church building is located off of Route 113 in Showell, MD.The church was built around 1692 and...

Last night, Scott and I headed out for a night in the city! After work, we drove to Washington D.C. to meet up with some friends, relax, and enjoy some great music. We started the evening at DC9, said hello to one of his good friends, and drank a chilled beer. I thought the interior of this bar was pretty sweet. Lots of old wooden frames with mirrors hung on opposite walls and neat screen-printed shades hung off of each pendant lamp. We went to Axum for Ethiopian cuisine... A last minute decision seeing as we every other restaurant was bustling and we were...

Yesterday, the weather cleared up (Only for about an hour, crazy coastal storms. Geesh.) and it was beautiful outside. I took advantage of the afternoon and went into town with my camera to snap some picture for work. People love this sign in Ocean City that hangs above our pretty drawbridge. 3,073 miles across the country via Route 50.I've been shopping for a house for months. I'm doing lots of research and budgeting to save for my future home. After searching some listings I saw a house for sale in town and went to check it out. I was overly excited...

Finally... Friday! I'm looking forward to a weekend of traveling, good music, and some time to relax. This time next week, I'll be in Chicago. Hooray! I've retired my sunglasses today (& Scott has, too). It's a rainy, windy, foggy, 58 degree Friday in Ocean City. On the brighter side of things... Spring is right around the corner!Those are my baby irises! They're a sprouting! That means Spring, sunshine, and Summer are closer. I get so excited when my garden starts blooming and becoming colorful after a cold, harsh winter. Can't wait for these pretty little sprouts to look like this...
