Re: Annapolis Maryland Bound
gonfishn- you lost me, maybe i'm missing something.<br /><br />as for what to do- you're hotel is in downtown and a brisk walk or drive towards the harbor (what we call ego alley) puts you at everything. not sure what you're looking for, but plenty of small shops to browse if that's your thing. if you want bars and restaurants, i can help. if you like italian, check out maria's. if you want great seafood, go to middleton's (george washington supposedly dined there). if you roll out of the bars at 2am and are hungry, grab a slice of pie at mangia's. for drinks, check out armadillo's, mcgarvey's, o'brien's, the list is endless. there are litterally 20 pubs within a 2 minute walk. all have their own thing. if the weather gets a bit nicer (we're in a cold spell right now), i always like to get coffee in the morning at starbucks, and then sit at the city docks and watch the boats, people, dogs, and ducks with my 2 year old. if the weather does break, you can sit by the water and eat/drink at pusser's (bar within the downtown marriott waterfront).<br /><br />of course, you need to tour the naval academy. i wouldn't take a group tour, just hit the visitor's center, grab a map, and walk it yourself. you can't drive on base, but gate 1 is a 2 minute walk from downtown.<br /><br />if you need any other help, just let me know here or email me at
