I’ve had a few different conversations on this podcast with different areas in Maryland. It’s the state where I live and work, so it makes sense. I have my own personal biases about what places are the best to visit in this state, and what locations would make great vacation spots. For me, most of those places are near the beach or somewhere out in the lesser populated areas. Today’s conversation opened my eyes to an area that I used to live in and how many great opportunities it has.
When I first moved to Maryland, I was living near Washington DC in a city called Rockville. It’s located in Montgomery County. To me, Montgomery was kind of a suburb of DC. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time there. But I guess I didn’t look at it as a place I’d vacation. And maybe vacation isn’t the right word. Just because you’re visiting a place doesn’t mean it has to be for vacation. Day trips are amazing. Even just a little drive down for dinner counts as tourism. That’s what I had to wrap my head around for this conversation.
I spoke with Kelly Groff, the president and CEO of Visit Montgomery. She helped me understand the beauty and options available in Montgomery County. From a wide array of inspiring restaurants and food, to a great craft brewery scene, historical landmarks and outdoor fun, Montgomery County Maryland has it all. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Kelly Groff.
