A Weekend Getaway to Historic Frederick, MD

Since mother nature has decided to skip autumn for us DC area residents, I say that instead of fighting the inevitable, we accept our doom and fire up the hearth. While the weather outside is frightful, dining by the fire is so delightful. When the temperature...
