I'm very 'meh' about Maryland. I really would love to move, and the main thing keeping me here is family. While in retrospect, it's not a 'bad' place to live... we have mountains, beaches, water, lots of history, 3 major cities real close... Baltimore, DC and Annapolis, lots of parks and trails, etc... I honestly find that I don't even utilize what's right in front of me lol. I very much dislike driving into DC or Baltimore. Parking sucks. DC confuses me.
I hate the weather 85% of the time. There seems to be like no in betweens. We seem to suffer through a LONG winter (most of the time) and then a stupidly hot and humid long summer. I always feel like we only get two weeks of Spring and two weeks of Fall. There's hardly any in between. It just goes from one extreme to the next. At least, it seems to be that way. As I've gotten older, I'm kind of sick of super cold weather, I used to love it. high 40's - low 80's is okay with me and probably my ideal.
I looveee Fall, but like I said, we don't seem to get much of it.
It's getting too congested in so many areas. I hate driving around here. You can go alot further from my area, like Frederick MD area and not have that but it's kind of boring there IMO. I actually have learned to really love the Eastern Shore of MD. You're far enough away from the congestion/traffic of Annapolis, Baltimore, etc, but you're not in the absolute middle of nowhere, you're right on the water, there's lots of outdoorsy things to do, lots of land, cheaper, etc.
Maybe it's just because I've lived here my whole life but I don't find it all that special. I mean, I guess there is a lot of stuff to do, if you take advantage of it. Maybe I'll leave and then really miss MD. Who knows.
I'm such a mix of a country / city girl. I love having some land, and privacy, but I also like being close to things (i.e. stores, malls, food places, etc). I could NEVER live somewhere that had the nearest grocery store an hour away or anything like that. But I also could never live in a place like NYC.
