Downtown Silver Spring offers a wonderful variety of restaurants. Choose from American, Indian, Mexican, Southwest, Chinese, Japanese, Pakistani, you name it! The Bethesda area offers the same variety of restaurants in a charming setting also. In Bethesda most of the restaurants are located within a few blocks, and on a beautiful evening you can have drinks at one restaurant, stroll to another for dinner, and to yet another for dessert.
If you are into sports, you will get your fill! The Baltimore Orioles' beautiful Camden yards is only about 45 minutes away, and The Redskins Park is about the same distance. We are very proud of our Maryland Terps! Mike & I are both University of Maryland alumni, and it only takes about 20 minutes for us to drive our boys to see a game.
We have wonderful shopping! Downtown Silver Spring is a good place to start, and we also have beautiful, big malls such as Montgomery Mall, White Flint Mall, Columbia Mall. You'll find Nordstroms, Macys, Bloomingdales, etc.
Last but not least, our beautiful beaches are about 2 ˝ hours away. Go sunning, sailing, and crabbing at the Delaware and Maryland shores at resort towns such as Rehoboth Beach, Ocean City, and Bethany Beach.
Mike and I have visited many places in the world, but find we are always glad to get back home!
