    7/16/22 The streets of Philadelphia...no man.  These are the streets of Annapolis
    John F.

    7/16/22 After visiting Sandy Beach State Park and the 7 Eleven, we arrived at Annapolis Maryland City Docks. I couldn't remember ever being here before, but if I have, I was young and don't remember. For some reason after being nearly all Latino population, being in a mostly Black population would be next. I was sadly mistaken. By the Annapolis Maryland Docks, I saw more Caucasians than African Americans as I thought I might see. I maybe married, but I can still admire some of the beautiful white women I saw. I did come across some interracial couples beside my wife and I. I love seeing this. Finding a parking spot might have been more challenging than expected if our timing wasn't impeccable. The lot attended had one available spot for us and welcomed us in. He showed us how to work the machine and told us we had an extra hour of leeway if one doesn't make it back within your ticket time. One of the first things I saw were the dock plaques near the water. I did not tead all of them, but I did take pictures of all of them to read later. We saw the children and father statue on our way to the restroom. On our way there, we saw many boats docked by the restaurant. I thought to myself these boats aren't likely to leave anytime soon. They come in and are likely to be there for most of the day. Whether they are just chilling, talking to other people or having sex below deck just inches away from unsuspecting people. The bathroom were clean unlike the 7 Eleven public bathrooms we saw earlier. I wanted to get a souvenir for my birthday celebration. Something that said Annapolis Maryland on it. I came across a lightweight 1/4 gray zipper sweater in XL. Anything bigger and it would have cost $5.00 more. The sweaters were half price and I grabbed it. I did wear it on Sunday and it is extremely comfortable. I also ended up getting an umbrella at another gift shop because of the heavy rain. My wife's tiny umbrella wasn't going g to work for the both of us. I know I should have brought my Ravens Umbrella, but I didn't. Still, I like this new yellow and navy blue Navel Umbrella. It is next to me right now. We ended up getting something to eat at 1771 G&T Restaurant because of the rain and because hostess's friendly attitude she had with my wife and I. We finished eatting and saw more of the town. We saw a white and purple Reston Limousine vichele in the city of Annapolis. I was wondering if I was going to see my company's vichele there. Guess I did There is a lot more of the City of Annapolis I would like to see with my wife. Both of us wouldn't mind seeing more attractive people from a distance. Annapolis Maryland is beautiful.

    Welcome to the prestigious United States Naval Academy.  This entrance is within walking distance of the Annapolis City Dock.

We were quite impressed by both the chapel and the crypt. Words really won't quite do it. You should see it for yourself!

    John Paul Jones is credited with being the "Father of the United States Navy" in 1775. His crypt…read morelies on the grounds of the Annapolis Naval Academy. You can enter the grounds free of charge after clearing a security check-point. He is credited with with having uttered the phrase "I have not yet begun to fight" in response to a quest for his surrender at the Battle of Flamborough Head during the Revolutionary War. His burial on the grounds of the U.S. Navel Academy is a complicated matter. Upon his death in 1792 he was interred in the French royal family private cemetery having gained the respect of the family while residing in France at the time. Only two years later in 1796 France's Revolutionary government sold the property and his burial on that land was forgotten. It was not until 1906 that his body was brought back to the United States and the U.S. Navel Academy under the direction of Theodore Roosevelt. The crypt has a separate entrance below the chapel of the United States Navel Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The ornate sarcophagus is covered in sculpted barnacles and is supported by legs in the shape of stylized dolphins. The sarcophagus is made of black and white marble. There is a bust of John Paul Jones and various other artifacts in this subterranean rotunda. The crypt is well done and worth seeing.

    Annapolis, MD - we toured the Navy Academy as a side trip to DC, as I knew it was an activity that…read morewould interest my dad. You can either check out the visitor center and free museum (a few blocks away) and walk around on your own (after going through security - this is an active naval base so ID is required to enter), or opt for a public guided tour, if you wish learn more about the history, traditions, and campus life of this institution. The 90-minute historical walking tour is the most popular, but I booked a GEM riding tour for my family (in a 5-passenger electric vehicle), since we were traveling with elders and a young child, so wouldn't be able to cover much ground across the sprawling Yard otherwise. The 75-minute tour takes you all around the Yard in comfort and highlights the "gems" of the naval academy. The campus is beautiful and pristinely maintained, and we were expertly entertained and informed by our wonderful tour guide Anne, whose whole family is Navy, and shared additional insights into the life of a midshipman and beyond. Parking: the limited parking near the visitors center is only available to those who hold a military ID. Otherwise you can either park at a garage or try metered street parking which is limited to 2 hours.

    I walked around the campus of the U.S. Naval Academy two weeks ago, when my husband and his family…read morevisiting us from out of town explored Annapolis for a few hours. I wish we'd had time for a guided tour (the other reviewers have really sold me on that experience, and I look forward to doing it in the future), but we had a great time exploring on our own. We arrived in the late afternoon. When you arrive, you need to enter through the Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center (even if you're going to the chapel or the museum, navigate your walking directions here to avoid wasting time - Google Maps doesn't know you need to enter at this particular gate), where you'll show ID and put your things through a metal detector, but that was very quick. The highlights of our walk around campus included the walk down Porter Road (the houses on this street looked like I was on the set of Top Gun), the U.S. Naval Academy Museum, and the Naval Academy Chapel. Both the museum and the chapel were easy to find, because the campus has very good signage. The museum is located in Preble Hall and is two floors of naval and U.S. Navy history and a collection of model warships. It's definitely worth a visit (it has its own Yelp page, so you can read reviews specific to the museum there). The chapel really blew me away. It was built in 1904-1908 but underwent extension remodeling in 1940. It's large (it seats 2,500), with a copper dome (the cupola is 193 feet above the main altar area). It's very beautiful, and you should definitely stop in for a look if you're exploring campus. The campus is beautiful and a unique space in Annapolis. I'd been to Annapolis dozens of times (mostly for work before) visiting the Naval Academy! I wish I'd explored it sooner.
