So I’ve been promising certain people that I would post some pictures of my parents’ home in Maryland for a while now. Finally, as promised, here are the pictures. The go from the front of the house, down to the basement, and out the back yard. Enjoy!

This is the front of the house. It’s a pretty good-looking house, IMHO.

This is the front room. It’s pretty classy, and it doesn’t get a lot of use.

This is where the food action happens. It’s almost my favorite room.

This is my favorite room in the house. It’s got lots of windows, it overlooks the backyard, and its got a high ceiling. What’s not to love?

This is the stairway that runs to the upstairs bedrooms. It also gives an idea of how high the ceiling is near the landing.

This is the basement of my parents’ house in MD. It’s pretty big, and they haven’t filled it up with stuff (yet).

This room is in the basement, and it empties out into the backyard. It’s perfect for parties and hanging out (in the summer, that is).

This is the top of the hill by the house looking down at the backyard.

This is the back of the house, looking up from the bottom of the hill by the stream.

The coolest feature of the house is, by far, the stream. it runs through the backyard, and if you open the windows, you can hear it running. It’s soothing to fall asleep to.

My parents live at the foot of a mountain, and there’s nothing behind them but mountain, woods, and deer. If I had been a kid growing up out here, I would have lived back there.
