So I realized that there is so much to see here in the Annapolis area (which to me includes DC & Baltimore and other surrounding areas as well) that I better start a bucket list to start to work on. It's not like we are going to live here permanently (and who knows how long we will actually be here... a little less than 2.5 years left on the orders but could be more could be less - who knows!?) so I figure the sooner I get started the better. It's a random assortment that includes things to see as well as places to eat/drink.
I figured I'd blog about it so you (my dear friends and readers) can help me out with anything I may have missed!
DC Area
- National Zoo
- Portrait Gallery - Done Once and I think that's enough for me
- White House at Christmas (the inside)
