Annapolis

Finally did the 45ish minute drive up to Maryland's capital of Annapolis on Saturday 29 December 2007.

It is a pleasant old small town with a population under 40 000. Being winter, it wasn't overly busy but most businesses etc still seemed to be open. We had a nice sunny day which was perfect to walk around the shops, small lane ways and historic house rows just off the City Dock area. Much of the tourism info for Annapolis highlights the cruises and the Naval Academy there but given it was only a day trip, we didn't do either of these.

We went through the Maryland State House which is still the seat of government in Maryland and has a number of historic claims to fame. Interesting building without being mind blowing!

Overall just a pleasant day in a smaller town.
