I remember when I was first getting ready to move to Maryland. Everyone I knew had some kind of comment about the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Those voices got even louder when I officially moved to Baltimore. I couldn’t believe it. How was an aquarium this huge attraction for everyone? All of my old friends and family who visit Baltimore always want to go to the aquarium. Even my wife has told me that when she was younger...

I think it’s fascinating how many beautiful and exciting places there are right in our own backyards that many of us have never seen. This podcast has opened my eyes up to so many things around where I live in Baltimore Maryland. I’ve lived in Maryland for the last 17 years and I’ve had conversations through this podcast about places in this state that I’ve never even seen. I can’t help but think about all of the wonderful thing...

I’ve lived in Baltimore Maryland for the last nearly 17 years, I spent a year in DC and about 8 in Philadelphia. But I grew up in New England. The first 18 years of my life were spent growing up in southern New Hampshire. Like most people in New England, I was really into winter sports. I started snowboarding and spent most of my winters on the mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Living in that area I’d see the bumpe...

My wife and I became parents back in 2020. It’s our first and only child. Our families would ask us what we wanted or needed for her. Aside from the typical things like diapers, formula and some clothing we really couldn’t think of anything. Then my wife had the idea of a membership to the Maryland zoo in Baltimore. We figured our kiddo would love walking around to look at the animals, even though she was still too young to re...

One thing I’m realizing while I do more of these conversations is that there’s a lot about Maryland I don’t know about. I had always thought that I had a pretty good understanding and knowledge about the state. But then I speak with folks like today’s guest and I know that there’s huge pieces of this state I’m missing out on. And I feel bad about that.

It’s easy when you live somewhere to overlook the beauty that’s right in your backyard. I always think back to when I moved to Philadelphia for a few years. One of the things I wanted to see was the Liberty Bell. I asked a friend who had lived in Philly her entire life to go with me one day. She told me she had never seen the Liberty Bell. I was dumbfounded. If you’re not familiar, the Liberty Bell is literally right in the mi...

Are there places on your travel bucket list? I’m sure you’ve got some spots that you’ve always wanted to visit. One of the places I’ve always wanted to see is Cooperstown New York. I grew up around Boston so baseball runs through my veins. The baseball hall of fame has been on my list for so long. I still have this vivid memory of watching A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN for the first time and thinking to myself how badly I wanted to vi...

Through the first 10 episodes of Delightful Destinations, I’ve been lucky enough to speak with a few representatives of counties on what’s known as the Eastern Shore of Maryland. If you’re listening to this podcast and you’re not super familiar with the geography of Maryland, the state is almost kind of split in two by the Susquehanna and the Chesapeake Bay. Both sides of the state have very different styles. The western shore i...

I don’t know about all of you, but this is my favorite time of year. It’s officially football season. Both the professional and collegiate seasons are underway and I’m addicted. My fantasy team could use some help, otherwise I’m a ver happy football fan. With that season underway, I thought it was a perfect time to talk about Alabama. No, not the school or its football team. The state.

Today I’m learning more about Indiana. To be honest, the most I know about Indiana is that the NFL Combine is in Indianapolis, Peyton Manning is second to Tom Brady in everything and I feel well-versed in the fictional town of Pawnee Indiana from Parks and Rec.

I think it’s time we head back over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. There’s this term, ‘Fly Over States.’ That term represents the states in the middle of the country that people fly over when they’re on their way to somewhere else. Places like Iowa, Arkansas, Oklahoma, you get the idea. For me, there is a similar thing here in Maryland. I call them drive through counties. These are the areas you drive through to get to your desti...

In the first 6 episodes of this podcast I’ve taken you on trips to different counties in Maryland and Virginia, and we made a stop in New Jersey. This week I thought we’d check out one of the premiere amusement parks in the country. Let’s visit Dutch Wonderland.
I’ll admit that I’ve lived in the mid-atlantic now for about 25 years and up until last year I had never been to Dutch Wonderland. The jewel of Lancaster Pennsylvania sits...

This week let’s take a trip to wine country. No, not that wine country. We’re going to Loudoun County Virginia, otherwise known as Washington DC’s wine country.
I’m not sure where you live or where you’re listening from. I live in Baltimore Maryland. Every Fall season it feels like so many people in my social media feed take the same trip. I start seeing groups of people, largely women, all dressed in their flannels, vests and...

Through my first 4 episodes of this show I’ve spoken with representatives from different counties or parks. So I thought I’d step up my game for the 5th episode and go for a whole state. This week I’m speaking with Jeff Vasser. He's the executive director of the New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism.
That’s right. We’re heading to New Jersey. I’ve always thought this state gets a bad rap. It’s easy to make New Jersey the b...

This week’s episode was fun for me. Not only did we talk about an area near where I live that I love. I also got to speak with someone that I’ve known for a long time.

In my first two episodes of this show I spoke with people representing counties in maryland. This week I’m heading south to Virginia. We’re going to take a trip to the Shenandoah National Park. Shenandoah is located about 90 minutes west south west of Washington DC. It’s this incredible expanse of forest, hiking, fishing, camping, and beautiful views from skyline drive.

Here in Maryland all of us western shore folks love a good trip across the Bay bridge to head down the ocean. Ocean City Maryland is one of the hottest vacation spots in the region, and often comes up as one of the top beaches in America. There’s something for everyone along our coastline from Ocean City up into Delaware. But, Ocean City is part of a larger county that has so much to offer.
