I am not one to openly brag about my kids, but they are awesome! We left Solomons Island early in the morning, it was flat calm and blazing hot. It was so hot, that when Dahlia took a nap she left a sweat imprint on the cushion (as shown in photo) !
When we finally got to Annapolis we anchored right off of the US Naval Academy wall. We went to shore, and walked around in the amplified heat of the city, and not one complaint from Deason or Dahlia. At first we hopped from one air conditioned store to the next. Then we went to see the state house, and other city buildings. We wanted to find a West Marine store, so we walked over the bridge to Eastport. This is where things went astray. We asked for directions to West Marine, and set off in the direction we were told to go in, after an hour of walking we asked for more directions, and continued to walk for another half an hour. Then we were told we were heading in the wrong direction and needed to go back to the bridge. We went back towards the bridge, and were given different directions from a man with an iphone, still no West Marine at the end of those directions either. Finally, we asked some people on road bikes, and they tell us we were almost there the first time, before we turned around and headed back toward the bridge! Why don't people just say "I don't know" if they don't know how to get some where? We walked 8 miles in search of a West Marine, Deason got a blister from his croc and he still didn't complain! Chris and I on the other hand were pretty sour!
Aside from the heat, we really liked Annapolis, and will definitely spend more time here in the Fall.
