Maggie is just a wee bit away from Annapolis - my favorite place in all of Maryland. We spent many a wonderful weekend there while Michael was at USNA.

If you are in Delaware, you are likely pretty close to lbaker, but she lost her job and Internet access, so hasn't posted in a while. She's in Maryland.
90% of the state is "across the Bridge." I seldom go there; maybe 8 or 10 times per year. SERIOUSLY!Quote:

"right on the line"...Tiverton, maybe? Just curious...you don't have to post that if you're not comfortable, you can PM me!Quote:

That sounds like a great idea. I'm about 10 mi NW of Dover and just a few miles from the DE/MD line. When I go to Baltimore, it's just a straight shot down 301 and only about an hour to the Annapolis area, and from there I just pick up the interstate and the beltway. I had some major surgery in 2000 and 2006 at Univ of MD Hosp/Shock Trauma and spent a lot of time going back and forth to there and to my doctor in Timonium, so I know the area almost like the back of my hand - unfortunately! :(Quote:

Would anyone be interested in getting together on Sunday, the 13th?
"Would anyone be interested in getting together on Sunday, the 13th? " (of September) Absolutely! We are a stone's throw from Philly - 2.5 hours or so - I think that's a great plan! If you'd like, I'll post a plan for a PT gathering in meetings. We could do it at my house, if you'd like, we have lots of room! Or, we could go to a park with a pavilion...will you be with pets, or without?
I'm pretty sure I could do the 13th. As much as I'd like to bring the poochies, I don't think they would be too enthused, but maybe just Sparky.
I'm not really familiar with any parks in your area. The only one that I know of is Sandy Point on the Annapolis side of the Bay Bridge. I haven't been there in years, but it used to be nice, and they used to have a pavilion too.
Since the real intent of my travel is business related, I will be pet-less. I'll let you know as soon as my plans firm up, but right now it sounds good to me. I say let's start a thread, see how many are interested then we can decide what a good central location would be.
As we get closer, I'll prbablly be looking for hotels for Sunday night, if you have any suggestions.
See new thread in "meetings"! :)
