Sunset Sailing: 4th of July on the Chesapeake Bay

A short 30 minute drive to the Chesapeake Bay is one of my favorite perks from living in DC. Eating crabs, throwing Old Bay on everything, and washing it all down with a cold Natty Boh - these foodie favorites have become synonymous with summer for me.

If you are looking for something festive and fun to do this 4th of July holiday, check out the photos below. The hubs and I booked tickets for a Sunset Sail on the Chesapeake this past weekend, it was magical! We set sail on the Woodwind, a 74 foot schooner which is actually the same boat that Christopher Walken sailed in the movie Wedding Crashers.

Grab some local crabs before cruising the Chesapeake for a truly all-in Maryland experience. We were short on time so stopped in at Buddy's along the city dock to eat. I honestly didn't have high expectations because it looked very touristy, but the service was great and the food was delish.

More details and all web links are listed at the bottom of the blog, enjoy and Happy 4th of July!
