Annapolis Area Bucket List

Updated these quite a bit so I decided to get rid of my colors for the rounds of updates for now... The complete items however are now colored aqua! (Why this color? Because it's one of my favorites!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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

  1. National Zoo
  2. Portrait Gallery - Done Once and I think that's enough for me
  3. White House at Christmas (the inside)
  4. See something at the Kennedy Center - Saw Book of Mormon - can you say HILARIOUS!
  5. See the Bureau of Engraving & Printing
  6. Holocaust Museum
  7. Stay at the Intercontinental Willard Hotel - COMPLETE! It's amazing!
  8. Tour Mount Vernon - Complete. It was good to go but once is definitely enough
  9. Georgetown
  10. Dinner at 1789 - For our Anniversary!
  11. Cupcake from Georgetown Cupcakes or Baked & Wired (The cupcake from Baked & Wired were delisious! I am calling this item complete but if I happened to be near Georgetown Cupcakes of course I'd have to grab one of those too!) Oh wait I was by Georgetown Cupcakes and did grab a few of those and have to say I was disappointed. Give me Baked & Wired any day over Georgetown Cupcakes! COMPLETE!
