The beauty of the wetlands!

Epic Marylanding is a blog all about living and loving our home, the great state of Maryland. They don’t call this place “America in Miniature” for nothing. Come along for this adventure and enjoy!

We love to write all about fun, family-friendly things to do in this great state of ours. But Epic Marylanding isn’t only about ways to keep yourself and your family busy. It’s also about what it means to grow roots in and to call a place home. It’s about teaching our children to know this place. It’s about seeing the beauty and wonder of not only the places we see in travel magazines and dream of visiting on vacation, but also of our own backyards and the parks and places down the street. It’s about feeling a part of this place – because place is part of our identity, and everyone needs an identity to call their own. We don’t necessarily believe that Maryland is better than everywhere else. But Maryland IS pretty awesome. So come along as we discover all this state has to offer. We can’t wait to adventure with you!

Early Spring and Backyard Beauty

I’ve written before on this blog about how I’m a believer in both big epic adventures (of which Maryland has so many) and in the practice of seeing the big and small beauty in our own backyards. This post is primarily about the latter. Early spring is a time of such beauty and new life…

The Beauty of the In-Between Season

The it’s-almost-spring-but-please-don’t-forget-it’s-still-winter weather of the last week reminded me of the uniqueness of our little corner of earth. I saw the caption “only in Maryland” multiple times on social media, paired with screen shots of the weather forecast – sunny and 70s for much of last week, then a windy weekend in the 50s, and…
