What is the best thing to do in your home area?

 

It is interesting to learn more about the communities in which we live. Think about the special things to do in your home area and share your answer to this question.

A good thing to do during the spring in Montgomery County, Maryland is to visit Brookside Gardens, the nicest botanical gardens in the area. Dolores would probably opt for a round of golf at Montgomery Country Club.

Hi Roy -- this would be a great contest idea.  

There's so much to discover in my area --- from the somewhat ordinary(by California standards) to absolutely fabulous and beyond.

Roy, there are a few places that are especially nice to visit in my area but I guess if I had to choose among those closest to me, I'd have to say it would be visiting Flamingo Gardens in Davie.  I've been there multiple times and haven't tired of it.

Brookside Gardens in Maryland is one of the many things to do in Montgomery County Maryland.

Good luck and success.

It would be difficult to choose just one.  Here in Sacramento, there is Old Sacramento, The California Railroad Museum, Sutter's Fort, The Capitol Building, and a plethora of other delightful places.  

Within 100 miles we have San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Napa Wine Country, and a collection of several California Gold Rush Towns.

Which I would choose on any given day, would depend on whether the moon was full, and if the stars were aligned!

That is a beautiful Tulip!

I think the best thing to do in Elkhart County is visit all the quilt gardens.

Aah, it is funny I read your blog tonight about Brookside Garden, Roy.  I just got off the phone with a client on a Brookside house here looking for their repair request wishes...cracking the whip at this late hour!

We are lucky to have too much things to do and places to visit in Los Angeles. I love opera, ballet, art shows, museums, or something very simple like hiking or walking on the beach.

Hi Roy.  I would suggest that the first thing they do in Stuart FL is to visit our beaches and rivers.

I love your Tulips photo Roy. There are so many good things I could mention, it would take a whole blog as Michael Jacobs says.

Good Monday morning to all. We have another beautiful day in Maryland. Dolores is heading to the golf course as I wait for the house and fence painters to arrive.

Have an outstanding week!
