I have been there twice as a child and was surprise how much smaller it felt to me. When we were there I felt like we walked around all day and had to walk forever to see everything. It is always interesting to visit places again you have visited as a child. On of the Marines who is at Combat Engineer school with Dan was a graduate of the Naval Academy and happened to be visiting his sister this weekend. He was gracious enough to give us a tour. I would have loved for it to be a bit warmer, but we still had a wonderful time.
After walking around the campus we had to stop in the gift shop, mostly for the purpose of me finding a bathroom :) Dan was taking Jackson through the shop in the stroller and stopped to look at a Marine Corp Rugby jersey. He went to leave and a lady passing him said, "oh he is so cute with his puppy." Dan immediately said, "Puppy?" and low and behold Jackson had grabbed a little bull dog stuffed animal with a Marine Corps tee shirt on off a a shelf and was snuggling and kissing it. It was certainly cute. SO cute in fact the puppy came home with us, after paying for it of course.
After leaving the Academy and determining that downtown Annapolis was way to busy for us to find someplace to eat we decided to take a little jont over the Bay Bridge. It was just as big as I remember! Of course I don't remember having to pay $2.50 to cross! After taking our trip across the water we decided on a whim to go over the Baltimore Inner Harbor and get some lunch there. So we plugged the National Aquarium address into our Garmin and headed out. A little side note about the Garmin....GET ONE! It took SO much stress out of this trip and perhaps one day will save our marriage! We arrived with little difficulty to the Inner Harbor and found some lunch. Then we told Garmin to take us home and off we went. It was a great little day trip!
