Final days...

On the last day and slight morning we had in Annapolis we decided to try and get the most out of the local goods. Dan went golfing for the morning while I did my run and then had a massage and manicure. I think that's a tradition we should definitely continue in our vacations! We then went and had lunch at the same place we went for dinner the first night we got there. We went back because of these bad boys...
See that little ball of goodness? That's the best dang crab cake you've ever tasted! It's known the town over for the amazing crab cakes and we had to go back for some more after getting a little appetizer taste that first night. They were dang good!
Then we walked around the Naval Academy. I sure do loooooooove me some navy uniforms! They're my favorite and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them with frequency. It was also mildly entertaining how many people were running and exercising everywhere. We went on campus (after showing ID's of course) and every single person was in gym clothes running around. We wanted to go inside the chapel, but when we got there they were having Holy Thursday mass so we popped in for a sec before it started. Lots of gorgeous blue stained glass (I love stained glass!).

No pic but that night for dinner we went to the "fancy" restaurant in town. Dan and I tend to compete with who orders the best food for dinner. He had the best starter, a delicious cream of crab soup while I had a pretty good sauteed lettuce with apple/strawberry/gorgonzola mousse with a balsamic reduction. But I trumped all with my amazing filet mignon with a red wine reduction, and grilled onions with cut up potatoes (think country potatoes). They say everything all fancy on the menu but basically it was meat and potatoes, and oooooooh soooooo good! The amusing thing about this establishment which tried very hard to be extremely fancy is that a random politician had decided to have a party that night in the bar above the restaurant and had music absolutely blaring. The maitre'di kept rolling his eyes and making snotty faces at the ceiling. It was good times. (if you haven't noticed, the focus of our vacations is good food. As much as we can get in our bellies. yum!)
The last morning we got a quick bite to eat at an open air market and ate looking out over the pier.
Last vacay photo! Can't wait until the next one!
