This past Sunday was my mom's 50th birthday, and my dad, brother, sister, and I pulled out all the stops in celebrating. She requested dinner at The Melting Pot - and we delivered. Instead of making reservations at the location down the road, though, my dad booked a waterfront suite and dinner in Annapolis, MD. We decorated the room, set up her gifts, and surprised her with they night away. Going to be tough to top next year.
After a night of milestone birthday shenanigans, we were left with a lazy Sunday morning to explore downtown Annapolis. Although I've lived in Maryland for 22 years, this was only my second time visiting our state capital, and it definitely made me want to return!
The lure of Annapolis, for me at least, was the quaintness of it all. The city is small, but there is still more than enough to do. There are plenty of historical buildings to gawk at, and even a short visit gives you a great feel for the Chesapeake Bay culture. Not to mention, the view of the water is beautiful in the morning : )
