Annapolis: A Brief Tour

[...and by brief, I mean much, much delayed...]

Two weekends ago [which seems like ages] Wendy and I made a little day trip to Annapolis! I had no idea how close it was to DC - we made it there in no time at all! We first found our way to the State House and discovered that they were in session, so we took in the view from a balcony inside.

Next, we wandered to the City Dock, got a snack and watched a few boats come and go. Great place for people watching and getting the local flavor!


After the City Dock, we walked through some of the neighborhoods. We found cute row houses, historical homes and everything in between!

Next stop: Naval Academy Campus. SO pretty and fun to see! The best part was a beautiful big tree on campus where we just couldn't pass up the chance to take a few pictures...

Last but certainly not least, we drove to another part of town to get some real honest-to-goodness Annapolis crab cakes. They were HUGE and delicious! We left very full, very happy campers. Thank you, Annapolis, for the perfect day trip!

Up next: a tale of my Easter weekend at home in Georgia!!

Happy Easter to all!

Priorities

Let me tell you something.

There are a great many things I would like to be doing at this very moment. For example, I'd love to be...

Blogging about my weekend adventures in Annapolis. (it was awesome.)

Planning summer adventures in warm, sunny places.

Shopping for clothes to wear in warm, sunny places.

Generally day-dreaming about warm, sunny places. With sand. And water. And sunscreen and towels and flip flops...

Running. (aka training for my first ever race! Peachtree Road Race 10K on July 4th!)

Reading. (currently: Water for Elephants)

Calling a great many people that I miss talking to on a regular basis.

Instead... I am currently writing a paper. A big kahuna of a paper. This thing is no joke, folks. Looks like it will end up somewhere between 10 and 15 pages long. I'm currently on page 5. It is due on Friday. And today is my one and only day off this week.

Frantic [but expert] paper writing continues...... now.

Love from your favorite procrastinator!

Lots of love from one happy springtime DC resident!
