With warm weather here again, it’s time to take advantage of all summer has to offer.
We’ve devised a handful of wholesome ways to milk the season for all it’s worth.
If you can’t afford to buy a Talbot County mansion, rent one for the week—or longer, if you like. Check out our nine palatial picks in “Laps of Luxury” (pg. 74), where sprawling grounds, sparkling pools, and tennis-court size great rooms abound. Remember, the yacht and live-in chef are extra. Your garden groaning for a makeover? In “Do as the Natives Do” (pg. 64), regional landscape design experts suggest twelve gorgeous native plants that give a green conscience to any outdoor space. Get back to nature along the wooded trails at Delaware’s Bombay Hook and Prime Hook wildlife refuges in “Nature’s Hook” (pg. 52). And for the ultimate romantic evening, grab a blanket, fully loaded picnic basket, and settle on the St. Mary’s College green for the annual River Concert Series in “Rollin’ on the River” (pg. 60). In “Out and About” (pg. 43), discover some of the region’s best camping grounds, from Assateague Island to Gunpowder State Park. Also, be sure to try the regions newest restaurants, Cambridge’s Bistro Poplar (“Traveling Gourmet,” pg. 81) and Easton’s Thai Ki (“Shorelines,” pg. 28), where the green curry is as delicious as a starry summer night.
See you in July!
