After visiting the
Annapolis State House, we wandered around town a bit. We saw two interesting fountains.
One is just outside St. Anne's Parish, one of the earliest churches built in Annapolis. The memorial is dedicated to William Scott Southgate, who was rector at St. Anne's in the late 1800s.

The other fountain is just inside the walls of the governor's house. No chance of tossing a coin in there without an invitation or superpowers!

A nice garden fountain |
I'm always impressed with the architecture in Annapolis. So many of the houses were seemingly built in different eras, with different designs.
|
I would love to explore inside of this house |

Home right by the Naval Academy |
We did a brief visit to the
Naval Academy, checking out the visitor center. We'll probably come back and do a tour at some point.

Entrance by the visitor center |
The Visitor Center has a lot of high tech displays showing what's going on, what has happened here in the past, and the many famous graduates.

The building also has a indoor athletic field.

The visitor center has several displays, including a model of the
USS Maryland, a Colorado-class battleship that served from 1920 to 1947. I love the amazing details shown in these models.

For lunch, we visited the
Iron Rooster, where I got the chili omelet, which is a lot better than it sounds. They put some chili on the side and add tortilla strips and sour cream. With a side of hash browns, it was delightful.

Yummy! |
