Annapolis is the capital of Maryland. If you're a history buff, Annapolis belongs on your bucket list. Annapolis served as our nation's first peacetime capital. Maryland's four signers of the Declaration of Independence had homes there, which are a few minutes' walk from each other and can still be visited and enjoyed today. A walk down the brick-lined streets puts you in touch with four centuries of history and architecture. A very nice place to spend the day.
