Kathy and I spent the night in a B and B (Gateway House) in Annapolis MD this past weekend. I’ve never been before but enjoyed the trip tremendously. Here’s a list of do’s and don’ts. ( My opinion only)
Do eat at the Carol Creek Cafe. Order the scallops.
If you eat at the popular Middleton Tavern, do not order the rockfish on stale lettuce. Order the coleslaw, skinny fries, and steamed shrimp. Do not dress up. Annapolis is very casual. Don’t bring your well bred exotic dog as everyone else did. They are uncomfortable in the hot sun and are very thirsty. They also poop in the street and at roadside cafe’s.
Do visit the Naval Academy and do visit the chapel and crypt of John Paul Jones. And don’t assume that children educated in the last 15 yrs will know who he was. Don’t plan on seeing the chapel on weekends because there will be weddings. Do walk along the main road in the Naval Academy grounds where the officers and their wives live. Notice the screened in porches.
Do have lunch at the Ram’s Head restaurant and order the beer battered onion rings.
Do stay in a B and B and not in a hotel.
Do visit the dock at Pusser’s in the Marriot and indulge in adult beverages over the water after dinner watching sailboats come in.
Do buy an expensive yacht and invite me and Kathy to spend the night in the Severn River on board your sail boat. That would be a blast. I’ll provide the refreshments.
