Somewhere Different

So the summer season is leaving, at least it is here in OH, and Fall is creeping in.  In my neighborhood the leaves are changing color and the smells of bonfires in the evening are everywhere.  I love to travel in the fall! We find the weather most comfortable in this season to explore the many festivals around the state, to hike, bike and ride in the car with the windows down. The See Ya There!  fall issue was released yesterday and it is filled with many new travel destinations. You can find them on our website www.seeyathere.com. Some of our advertisers you may know but many of them you may have never heard anything about.  The site is easy to navigate through and when you find a destination your interested in order more information from them or go onto their website to learn more about them.  Check out something different this fall by traveling somewhere different.

See Ya There!

Life’s too short. Get out and go somewhere!

Outside of Baltimore, MD

Just about 50 miles northwest of Baltimore you will find Frederick County, MD. Here in Frederick you can fall back in time with the many historical sites and museums around town. If you would rather travel back in time by exploring the land, visit one of the 90 parks and take a trip down the river with a whitewater rafting tour.

Do you have more of a knack for shopping and dinning? Then look no further, the streets are lined with artist shops, antique galleries with collections from all of over the world and you will find orchard markets with the freshest produce around. Follow-up with a delightful meal and be entertained by live music to end your day. 

Come see Frederick County this fall for a breathtaking view of the change of seasons.
