Annapolis!!

What a beautiful city, the capitol of Maryland.  The large historical district was totally walkable with tons of resturants and many preserved and restored homes.  We were impressed with the colorful houses, beautiful gardens, and all brick streets and sidewalks.  All very close to or on the water.
We did our walking tour, including a guided tour of the state capitol building where we stood in the same place that many historic events happened including Washington's resignation.

There were seven freighters waiting outside Annapolis

Guess who was responsible for creating the big lightening rod on the dome??  Ben Franklin of course!   After 200 plus years it is still up there collect lightening strikes!
