A Beautiful Day Out

November is arguably one of the most beautiful times of year in Maryland.  The leaves are changing and the sun is shining bright.  On a whim, my mom sister and I decided to go out and see some of November's beauty in other areas of Maryland.  You never know what's out there until you go and explore.  That was our theory by the end of the day.

After a very stimulating trip to Ikea in College Park, we decided to drive to the old town of Ellicott City.  Talk about charm.  What a beautiful and yuppy town.  There were countless shops with vintage accessories and furniture as well as top-notch art galleries and country stores.  Good thing I was toting my favorite toy around with me :)

At the start of the trip, we took Gallent Green Road, which isn't one we normally take, but we did find this sweet old store right at the railroad crossing.

Old town Ellicott City is quite the diamond in the rough.  The rolling hills of the old mill village is very picturesque and unusual just outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.

Hope you all are enjoying the fabulous November weather this weekend!
