\"\"<\/a>Over my 47 years, I’ve done my fair share of travelling across these United States.\u00a0 I thought it would be an interesting experiment go look back at those trips to each of the 31 states I have visited (62% isn’t bad, is it?) and see if, and when, I may be returning.\u00a0 Working in alphabetical order, we continue today with the 7th state to be added to the Union: Maryland.<\/p>\n

State:<\/strong> Maryland
\nJoined the Union:<\/strong> 1788
\nVisits:<\/strong> 1<\/p>\n

My first, and only, so far, visit to the Chesapeake Bay State came at the beginning of our family trip to Washington DC in 2019 to celebrate Michael’s graduation from junior high.<\/p>\n

On a Sunday morning in the beginning of June, the family flew into Baltimore.\u00a0 While the girls headed to the train to Washington, the boys went for a nice breakfast followed by a quick impromptu sight-seeing tour.\u00a0 After seeing the grave of Edgar Allen Poe and a museum celebrating the birthplace of Babe Ruth, we found ourselves at Oriole Park at Camden Yards to see the Orioles battle their rival San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n

Things got a little hairy late in the game when we realized that the train we were planning to take to Washington didn’t run on weekends.\u00a0 We left the game early and hoofed it to a bus depot, where we booked passage on a bus route headed to DC.<\/p>\n

Will I return?\u00a0 Maybe, for baseball reasons.\u00a0 But outside of that, I don’t see what would draw me back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
