The Maryland Inn
Another day of driving. Ugh. But we arrived safely in Annapolis. Yeah!
We're staying in historic downtown Annapolis at the Maryland Inn. The Inn was built in 1776 and if full of charm and quirkiness. Our room is on the corner of the building and has four windows. Two of the windows overlook the harbor.
We walked down Main Street to the City Dock, kinda got our bearings, then ate dinner. The Annapolis City Dock is where Kunta Kinte (think Roots) arrived as a slave. We opted for valet parking and will walk the entire time we're in town. Driving and parking on the narrow Colonial streets are rather nightmarish. At dinner, G-Man ordered raw oysters but didn't know how to respond when when the waitress asked him which variety he wanted. He opted for James River variety and really enjoyed them. Mr. A and I had the crab cakes since we're in Maryland. My Sweetie had scallops.
Tomorrow Mr. A will show us around The Yard (that's what the Academy campus is called). Then Thursday is Induction Day.
I should stop babbling. We're so tired and brain-dead that none of us are really making coherent sentences. But perhaps a stroll down the street to get some ice cream might be in order.

Btw, the concept of Wi-Fi at a 235-year-old inn is totally awesome but in reality frustrating. The Wi-Fi got a cramp (ok, several) when I tried to upload photos. Also, when I shut the bathroom door, I needed my Sweetie to push really hard to open it again and get me out.

235-year-old Inn how fasinating! Colonial style is beautiful and will always stay in style,it's timeless especially Queen Anne style home decoration.
Have a wonderful trip! Take notes for all of the blog posts it will inspire! :)
blogging from the road is like Russian roulette, really. I haven't tried it from a smartphone but of course it doesn't help you upload photos from a separate device.
