St. Michaels

Hope everyone had an amazing Memorial Day weekend! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, although I've been busy on Instagram (I plan on doing an IG roundup shortly), but I've been super busy with the holiday, my husband's grandma passing, and I've been working on my much needed blog face lift. I can't wait to share, I'm hoping it'll be done within a week or two!!

So back when I had my birthday at the end of April, I wanted to plan a day trip with my family to the Chesapeake Bay. No joke, I saw a list of top 10 best restaurants for crab cakes and was on a mission. BUT, then it rained for a month. Finally, the sun came out and we headed to St. Michaels. I thought I would share some pictures and recommendations for our trip and of course, share the details of the outfit I wore.

It's a 3 hour drive so in order to break it up for the kids, we stopped at Sandy Point State Park, which was 2 hours away. It has beautiful beaches on the Chesapeake, bathrooms, picnic tables, etc. We got some sun, the boys did some fishing and we had a picnic. After we changed into our nicer clothes, we headed the rest of the way to St. Michaels.

On the way into St. Michaels, I was in major need of a pick-me-up. If you love coffee as much as I do, don't miss out on Rise Up Coffee! So good. It's easy to drive passed it because it's right before you hit the town in a little stand on the side of the road, but totally worth it.

What's the first thing you and your kids need on a hot day? Ice cream of course! You have to go to Justine's, the ice cream is so yummy and they have a ton of great milkshakes you can't pass up!

We had so much fun walking around the town, lots of cute shops. We also walked along the bay. I eventually had to change from wedges to flats as you will see below lol!

Seen here with flats haha.. One of the attractions of St. Michaels is the Maritime Museum. I wasn't super excited about it at first, but the kids ended up loving it and I had a good time too. I'm standing on the one level of the lighthouse and the picture above is from the top of the lighthouse. So pretty!

It's hard to see, but that white building in the background is the Inn at Perry Cabin where the big wedding on Wedding Crashers was shot :)

I finally got the crab cakes I was craving and they were AMAZING!! We went to The Narrows restaurant on Kent Island, about 45 minutes from St. Michaels and on the way home for us. You can't beat the crab cakes or the view below!
