Josh and I have at least 2 date nights a month. We like to explore new areas so we decided to travel about 40 minutes to our new capital for our first "real" date in MD. (We went to see Eclipse a few days before but that was really just for me. I love my hubby!) We went on the weekend of the 4th so of course it was really busy. It's a really cute port...very similar to Charleston. We went without a plan, we just kind of wondered around. I'm a big planner but it was actually really nice to not have an agenda. Unfortunately it was REALLY hot outside so we didn't stay as long as we would have liked. We walked around and looked at boats for a while and watched some of them come in. Here is one that Josh really liked. It's a little too close to the water for me! I wish we would have taken more pictures but of course I didn't really think about it until we were leaving.
There was some sort of dog show going on. We watched it for a little while but it was more of a kid thing...nothing too exciting. We found a really cool sports bar to eat at. The world cup was still going on so we stayed around and watched the game for a while. I had my first MD crab cake and it was delicious! They're definitely different than at home. They have a lot more crab meat than ones you would get in NC. Josh got fish & chips & that was really good too! We forgot where we parked so it took us forever to find the car. It was not fun looking for the car in the crazy heat but we finally found it. We ended up coming home & relaxing for most of the day.
Just found your blog. I went to NC State also. My husband and I lived in Columbia, MD for year before we got married. We loved going to Annapolis for date nights.
