Monocacy National Battlefield and Great Food

Dwayne and Debbie took advantage of the sunny, warm day to tour the Monocacy National Battlefield near Frederick, Maryland.    Debbie and her son participate in Civil War re-enactments and Frederick was only an hour drive from Columbia. The National Park Service has a good display describing the battle.  Although a small engagement compared to other battles such as that at Gettysburg, it was one of the most important and known as "The Battle That Saved Washington".  We were hungry after tromping through the fields exploring the battlefield.  A great find was the Black Hog BBQ.  They are highly ranked on food review websites and did not disappoint.  Dwayne had the Memphis Dry Rub Ribs which were better than most served in Memphis.  We took an auto tour of Frederick before heading to Baltimore where we met with the rest of the family at Michael's Steak and Lobster House for dinner.  Sixteen of us gathered to feast on the Monday Specials. Dwayne ordered the 32 oz prime rib which came with a baked potato.  He ate it all.  Michael's is definitely on the visit again list.  Once again, it was another great day in Maryland.
