Exploring Crisfield, MD

  Yesterday Michael and I went to Crisfield for their annual Freedom Fest. We heard about the festival on Facebook and thought we'd give it a try. The event itself was pretty small but quite cozy. There were a few local craft vendors and food trucks as well as live entertainment. After spending some time at the festival we decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather and to explore more of Crisfield and walk around the marina. 

Crisfield is a tiny town of less than 3,000 people and is apparently known as the "Seafood Capital of the World". You can definitely tell that its citizens are very proud of that title as all the street signs have a picture of crabs on them and they use seashell decorations for street walls.

  Since Crisfield is so proud of their crabs we though it'd only be appropriate to have something crabby. The food at the festival didn't include any seafood so we walked along the Main St until we came across a cute little restaurant called Watermen's Inn ( until we got home I totally thought it was called Watermelons, yup ). We were not very hungry so we both only ordered a bowl Maryland Crab Soup and it was very yummy! I've only had Maryland Crab Soup a couple times before and this one was the best one yet! It had the right amount of spice and soo much crab meat! Well done Watermen's Inn! They also had lots of amazing cakes (including Smith Island). Unfortunately we didn't get any dessert but if we ever find ourseles in Crisfield again we definitely will!

While walking along the Main St we noticed so many adorable buildings and, of course, I couldn't help but get my pictures taken next to them (gotta keep my Instagram updated). Poor Michael had to take so many because I'm always unhappy with the way I look but I think he did a pretty good job with them.

Another cool thing that happened while we were walking around the marina was that this cute dragonfly landed on Michael's hand and just stayed there. We even took him for a walk with us. Michael named him David by the way. :)

We enjoyed spending time in Crisfield and exploring more of the Shore this weekend. It's a very cozy and welcoming little fishing town that's worth visiting at least once and you'll probabably come back for more! I hope you have a great 4th of July and eat lots tasty food! Michael promised me burgers. Can't wait! xo
