While Washington, DC is inviting, it's well worth taking the time to explore the outlying area, both inside and outside the Beltway. Outdoors lovers will enjoy a trip to the Woodend Audubon Sanctuary in Chevy Chase or a wine tour to the vineyards and wineries just a short drive away. Another great day trip idea is north to Annapolis to see the Navy Academy and stroll along the historic streets. For an afternoon of shopping, look no further than the recently revamped and reinvigorated downtown Silver Spring.

The Chesapeake Bay is another southern Maryland attraction. Along the water there are lighthouses, boat docks, and biking paths. History buffs will enjoy some of the older areas of Maryland. These historic sites include St. Mary's, which is Maryland's colonial capital, the Calvert Marine Museum, where a nearby attraction invites visitors to dig for prehistoric fossils.

Business also brings many visitors to the southern Maryland area. Government offices as well as corporate offices, including Lockheed Martin, Coventry Healthcare, USEC, and T. Rowe Price, all attract job-seekers and business travelers. Business dinners are a genuine treat in southern Maryland, as the renowned fresh crab seldom disappoints.

Whether on the water of the Chesapeake Bay or outside of the nation's capital, Southern Maryland has many exciting attractions to explore and enjoy.
