Our first tour of the season is a big one that will have us driving through the Catoctin Mountain and weaving through the backroads of Pennsylvania to the historic Omni Bedford Springs Resort. Once there, those who wish to spend the night and enjoy this fabulous resort can do so at the discounted base rate of $229, or $289.44 all-in (with tax and resort fee). If you choose not to stay overnight, you could simply drive back to the Baltimore area. Our guest tour master for this event is Ron Farb.

POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES ON SECOND DAY
Tour participants staying overnight will be on their own on the second day, but here are a few suggestions from guest tour master Ron Farb:
● Just relax or enjoy the resort’s amenities, such as the indoor pool, the spa, the golf course, the hiking trails or the Segway tours.
● Drive to the Flight 93 Memorial (there is sure to be a caravan of folks going there).
● Visit the town of Bedford Springs.
● Unfortunately, the Old Bedford Village will still be closed for the season. But if you ever return, this is a must-see attraction if you like Colonial Williamsburg.
● Shop at Hagerstown Premium Outlets on the way home.
