I apologize for posting this now in the summer, however, life got in the way for awhile. Annapolis is just as beautiful (and more lively) in the summer months as the spring. Some people love the beach. I however love the coastline and visiting the old colonial coastline towns, like Newport, RI and Portsmouth, NH. I recently had the opportunity to go to visit another, slightly closer city, Annapolis, MD for a few days this past April.
