My Facebook review from 2015:…read more For what you guys demand from the parents, the reward is almost nothing. The people that run your studio must love telling people "You can't...." You can't watch your daughter's practices, you can't take pictures, you can't have a life that exists outside of your own little ballet world. You can't see your daughter perform without buying a ticket so you can get even more cash. Get a grip! "Charlotte's Web" (if you can call it that) was the last straw! Of all the time, effort and money spent for just that one show, my daughter was only on stage 15 seconds out of the 3 hours. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I cannot fathom why you would do that to her. I gave up (almost) an entire weekend and spent $80 for tickets for my daughter and she, my family and I only got 15 seconds on stage total. Unbelievable! The only reason why you aren't getting a single star is because of the way my daughter is excited to go to class. At least you're doing ONE thing right. Parents: Be prepared to be "nickel-and-dimed" at every possible turn. And if your daughter gets invited to be in a special "show", be sure to ask how much stage time she gets before you say yes. Don't make the same mistake I did.

"Was it everything you hoped for and expected?" our intrepid captain asked as he was ferrying us…read moreback from the island. For me, the answer was yes. Maybe that's because my expectations were realistic and not that high; this is a very small island and there is not much on it at all. But if it's a tourist trap, it's a very pretty tourist trap, worth a visit for the sheer novelty of it. The historicity of the location is somewhat interesting, but what drew me is the idea of being out on the Potomac on one of the most isolated spots you'll likely find within driving distance of the nation's capital. This place is way out there. I mean, even if you're already in Southern Maryland, it's a significant drive from most anything of consequence. It is at least a bucolic ride, and you can expect clear roads. The museum is small but reasonably well done, but really just something to do as you to wait for the ferry. Waiting for the boat, I was greeted by a pair of stingrays flapping pleasantly at the surface of the water (not pictured, sorry); you're not far from ocean here I guess. The boat is small and the ride quite rough on a windy day, which I'm guessing is a lot of days; if you get seasick or have mobility challenges I would recommend against it. The north side on which you arrive is decidedly barren and cactus-ridden (sandal-wearers beware). However, walking to the south quickly leaves one on a clear trail surrounded by thick underbrush. The only things you're likely to hear are wind, birds, and bugs (thankfully, the wind factor tends to minimize the biting/stinging ones). A few locals might be out fishing, but you're likely to have a lot of peace and quiet. A picnic area, a monument, and a lighthouse are the main landmarks. The island is eroding away, and has been reinforced by rocks on all sides; the one appreciable beach is on the south side. Trying to traverse the wilder parts of the island is dicey at best, but if you simply want to bathe in the sun and sea air, you can find a place. The ferry runs on very limited hours (10-3 on weekends in season, and that's it), but I found somewhere between 1.5-2 hours on the island sufficient for a fairly complete visit, one that can be interspersed with a day trip by some of the other scattered Southern Maryland Parks. The cost isn't a ton ($7 for museum and a ride to the island), but note that they do charge for children over five.

During the pandemic, these have been suspended, but you can still visit. There's a small parking lot and signs that guide you to the historic home, gardens and slave house. Like many plantations in this area, people were enslaved here. It's a tragic fact to know when you visit so you can mourn and grieve. It would be inappropriate to visit this place without knowing the tragedy of it and how it led to the systemic racism that sadly still exists today. May we all fight for justice for all!

Growing up in the South as a white person, I have been accustomed to historic plantations that allow visitors to share a romantic view of the "Old South." A view that ignores the ravages of slavery. In contrast, Sotterley has invested in presenting artifacts of its history with enslaved Africans, primarily through renovating a slave cabin. What is chilling is that a ship carrying people kidnapped from West Africa docked on the shores of Sotterley. The UN has designated it as a special cultural site because of this history.
