We asked Anne Arundel residents where they’d take their long-weekend lodgers. Here’s a list of the best eats and awesome activities in your neighborhood:

• "The Point restaurant at Ferry Point Marina and Downs Park - Annapolis is definitely a day trip too - so much happening there - enjoy your guests"
• "Odenton -- to eat take them to The Hideaway. Something for everyone at the The Hideaway... For things to do - can't [beat] DC sightseeing because Smithsonian is FREE."
• "Take them to D.C. - botanical, library of congress, textile museum, or zoo. For easy "local" food, 'Fat Boys Crab Shack'. Houlihans has great H.H."
• "Go to Mama Lucia's in Hanover. Only 10 minutes from Glen Burnie. You won't be disappointed."
• "...Downtown Annapolis is beautiful and always has something going on. Great food, [beautiful] hotel and its all on the water. I grew up in Annapolis and it was always my favorite place. Enjoy...."
• "Park tavern or the point! If you're willing to go to Pasadena, highly recommend 2 rivers steak house!"
• "Odenton? - Mama Roma or venture to Waugh Chapel in Crofton and there are a slew of restaurants and a movie theater there."

• "To the MineField show at the Metropolitan in Annapolis!!"
• "For dinner: Fat Boys Crab Shack. For a little taste of history: Linthincum Walks. For fun: Night Hawk Golf Center. On a Wednesday: The Crofton Farmers Market"
• "Allison's restaurant on defense highway. Incredible food, incredible service. Not expensive. Im not affiliated in anyway. Just discovered this and couldn't believe I didn't know it was so close! A hidden gem."

If these suggestions don’t make the mark, take your guests on Maryland’s Best “Ice Cream Trail” Passport Challenge!

From May 20 to Sept. 23, ice cream lovers are invited to visit each of Maryland’s nine dairy farms, try the ice cream, and answer a dairy-themed trivia question. Each visit earns a passport stamp.

Get all nine stamps, mail them in, and a select number of passports will be picked from the lot and awarded prizes.
