Maryland

As most of you know, we are moving to Baltimore on July 11th (to be exact). Will's classes will start on August 4th at UMB.

We took my first (Will's second) trip to Maryland over Memorial Day weekend. To my surprise, I really liked it there! The transition from slow-paced, quiet Vermont, to busy, fast-paced Baltimore, should be easy enough for us to make. We look forward to living near the city and enjoying all the excitement that comes with it.

Throughout the duration of the trip we stayed in the Inner Harbor. Baltimore is in somewhat of a horseshoe, right on the water.

We looked at well over 20 apartments before stumbling on our final choice. It is in Baltimore, about ten minutes from Will's school. It is located right on the water in a cute neighborhood called Canton. It has a bit of a suburb feel, while still located right near the busy Inner Harbor. I noticed that a salon I have been interested in is located in the same building as our apartment!

The apartment has a washer and dryer...what else do you need to know? :-) Actually, it is almost double the size of our current apartment at about 1300 sq. ft. We are so excited to paint and decorate. It also has exposed brick, which we really love.

All in all, our trip felt like a vacation. We had lots of fun exploring Baltimore while shopping and eating out. We have yet to try their famous crabs, but I think we can fit that in over the next four years.

The locals told us that we will laugh at their winters. Apparently everything shuts down at even the prospect of snow...that should be interesting :-). I think I could live with that!

Stay tuned for our final apartment pics upon moving!
