Annapolis – Great day trip from DC

Annapolus is Maryland’s Capital and it is where American Naval Academy is. It’s about 50 miles from Northern Virginia via US 50 through Washington DC.

We’ve been here a few times and like what this charming small town has to offer:

1. Free tour of the Naval Academy w/o a reservation. It is two blocks from the water front;

2. Water front tourist attractions;

 

3. Several ice cream shops near the water front and along the narrow street stretching from the water front to the back of the Maryland state house;

2 scoops。貪心不足。吃了發胖。

4. Many nice restaurants with street side tables serving decent food and drinks;

The entire place used to be a restaurant。 After it failed a couple of years ago，the landlord changed it into a market and sandwich shops。

5. Small town atmosphere where the pace of the life Is slow and the ambiance around the town is relaxed; and

6. On any night of the week, and of course on Fridays and Saturdays, you’ll see cadets in uniforms taking a break at restaurants and bars along the streets.

If you are around the area for a few days, take US 50 then follow the sign to this quite and small town.

If you are into football，annual Army-Navy football isn’t that great as far as football is concern，but you might enjoy the rivalry。

There are many great restaurants, such as this one, for you to choose from.

Level. Being here once. Enjoyed it very much.
