A First Time Visit to Ellicott City, Frederick Maryland Photographer

My husband and I had a rare Saturday without the kids so we decided to explore Ellicott City for the first time ever.  Considering I grew up in Maryland I am not sure what took me so long to discover this place.  It has lots of little shops, one really neat furniture store, historic buildings and a great main street (The National Highway created by Thomas Jefferson) to stroll down.   We will be taking the kids back to see the Log Cabin and the Firehouse both of which we visited as well as the Colored School which has had a great restoration completed and the Railroad Museum.  Considering we live in our own railroad town of Point of Rocks, I think this will be a good addition to their knowledge of the local rail line. We had lunch at Tersiguel's French Country Restaurant which we were recommended and we agree, that it was excellent.  Great bread and the omelet and crepes we ordered had so many flavors and I loved the Frisee Salade. 

Here is my pictorial take on the little city.

Ryan by a caboose in Ellicott City.  Last year we stayed in a caboose with the kids near Natural Bridge, VA.  This one looks a lot like it.

I want my husband and all his male friends to open a Mantiques Shop when they retire.

Look what I found in the creek that flows through the town.

We got to see inside the Firehouse Museum.
