Day Pass: Extend That Endless-Summer Glow With A Trip To St. Michaels

Now that your weekend agendas are starting to open up a bit, there's no better way to fill up some of that white space on your calendar than with a quick day trip to the coast. Our advice: Get outside the Beltway and head to one of our favorite destinations—St. Michaels, Maryland.

It’s a picturesque town (where the idyllic scenes in Wedding Crashers were filmed, no less) that highlights everything the Chesapeake Bay has to offer—all within just a few square miles. There’s plenty to do (and see, and eat, and buy) to make it well worth the two-hour drive from D.C. To prove it, we've put together an easy itinerary to help you make the most of these balmy end-of-summer days. All you need to do is hit the road!
