Washington, DC is a city surrounded by exciting destinations<\/a>\u00a0easily accessible by car.\u00a0Dorchester County, a seaside community on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, is one of them. \u00a0A two-hour drive from the city center of our Nation\u2019s capital, you will find a place with colonial architecture, bald eagles, osprey nests, craft beer and lots of good \u2018ol Maryland crab. \u00a0Recently, I packed up Bianca, my X1, picked up my friend Kat, and took a midweek trip to this beautiful place. All about our adventure:<\/p>\n

Country Life at Dorchester County<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As you leave the noise of the city, you step into a world which seems much further away than two hours.\u00a0 My friend and fellow blogger Kat from SpicyCandyDC <\/a>and I arrived to our B&B, Lodgecliffe,<\/a> to the smiling face of Juli, one of our innkeepers. She took us to our room, which had a beautiful view of the Choptank River. We dropped off our bags and headed to lunch at\u00a0Old Salty\u2019s on Hooper\u2019s Island, a traditional\u00a0Chesapeake fishing village. \u00a0Without hesitation, we ordered crab in many ways: steamed crab cake, fried soft shell crab, and a fried crab cake.\u00a0 I can still remember the light buttery flavor of the steamed crab cake. \u00a0No wonder\u00a0Old Salty\u2019s<\/a> is regarded by\u00a0many as offering the best crab cake in Maryland.<\/p>\n

From there, we headed to Hooper\u2019s Island Oyster Aquaculture<\/a>, an oyster farm. \u00a0The owner, John Shockley, was a second generation waterman (Maryland word for fisherman).\u00a0 His son, a Marine Biologist, has also joined the team as they develop unique sustainable ways to raise oysters year-round, making the company a three-generation endeavor. \u00a0We had the opportunity to tour the farm and see all the steps taken for deliciously plump Maryland oysters. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0tours of the facilities are available, make sure to book ahead!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Katya learning all about Oyster Farming in Dorchester County<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a gorgeous summer day in Dorchester County. \u00a0It was sunny with a perfect breeze coming from the bay. \u00a0On our way back to Cambridge, we stopped several times to spot birds: ospreys guarding their nests, elegant blue herons, and the majestic bald eagle. \u00a0Witnessing nature at its best reaffirms one of the things I love about living in the United States: its diversity. \u00a0You can go from a city as busy as Washington, DC to this sanctuary of nature in just a short drive.<\/p>\n

\"Dorchester<\/a>
RAR Brewery in Cambridge, MD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Back in Cambridge, we headed to RAR Brewery<\/a>. \u00a0There, we met JT Merryweather, one of the co-owners of RAR. \u00a0It was inspiring to see how his passion for craft beer turned into a beloved local business. \u00a0He and his business partner, Chris Brohan, built the business from scratch and brew all their beers in house. \u00a0From IPAs to jalapeno infused beers, there is something for every taste at RAR. Dining Traveler Tip: pick up a growler of your favorite brew (you get to keep the cool bottle) for $17.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dorchester<\/a>

We headed back to Lodgecliffe to decompress from an intense day. \u00a0The view of the Choptank River from the beautiful turn-of-the-20th century home was very serene, the perfect way to unwind. \u00a0We truly felt at home with Juli and her mom, who also bakes delicious shortbread cookies. \u00a0More about our stay at Lodgecliffe coming soon on the blog!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Dorchester<\/a>
Deviled Eggs at High Spot Gastropub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We worked up an appetite from the busy day and headed to The High Spot Gastropub<\/a>. \u00a0Pretty much everyone we talked to in Dorchester County raved about this place. \u00a0We had to see it for ourselves. \u00a0We were sold! \u00a0Chef Patrick Fanning spoiled us with a culinary tour of their delicious menu which truly reflects the spirit of Dorchester county. \u00a0From the fried oysters of Hooper’s Island to the grilled peach salad, the chef has a passion for all things local. \u00a0The famous duck fat burger lives to its hype with a thick, succulent patty. \u00a0Wash it down with RAR beer served on tap for the full Cambridge, MD effect.<\/p>\n

\"Dorchester<\/a>
Cambridge Lighthouse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We decided to go for a walk after indulging in such delicious food. \u00a0We walked from the restaurant to the Choptank Lighthouse where we witnessed an amazing view of the river as dusk settled in. \u00a0The sky was an indescribable hue of blues and purples. The perfect setting to end the day.\"Dorchester<\/a><\/p>\n

The following morning, we headed to Blackwater Paddle and Pedal, for a guided kayak tour of the Blackwater area. \u00a0Susan, the company’s owner, led the tour and shared interesting facts of Dorchester County as we paddled along the vegetated waters. \u00a0A short yet strong woman, Susan’s eyes light up as she talked about the history of her business and how she and her husband, who were born and raised in the area, have built a life there. \u00a0We witnessed bald eagles and ospreys as we glided through the waters. \u00a0As we listened to Susan’s story, we were inspired by the passion she exudes in what she does. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0head to Blackwater Kayak and Pedal during the fall if you are a bird lover. Susan says the best sights are between October and November.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Dorchester<\/a>
Maryland Crab time at Ocean Odyssey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We concluded our trip with lunch at Ocean Odyssey, another local favorite. \u00a0When we told Susan we were headed there, she was very excited for us. \u00a0An active morning of kayaking called for a large lunch! No trip to Maryland is complete without steamed crabs with a nice coat of old bay followed by delicious fish tacos. \u00a0As we shared our blueberry trifle, Kat and I both agreed that this is a trip that needs to be repeated. Dorchester County is truly an American gem, not only for its natural beauty but for the hospitality and passion the people of the county possess. \u00a0My plan is to return in the fall to go bird watching with the Dutchman. Hopefully we will get to see more eagles!<\/p>\n

This lovely trip was hosted by Dorchester County tourism. As always, opinions are my own.\u00a0<\/em><\/h5>\n
