yeah I forgot the Aquarium.. thanks for reminding me.. the maryland science museum is a disappointment.. with the smithsonian so close by. btw. the national aquarium is a waste.. was NOT impressed with the national zoo too much but it is free so what the heck..
the spy museum has been mentioned a lot as a place to visit.. I really like the FDR memorial in summer at night.. in fact all the west end of the mall at night is dramatic.. fairly safe.. park rangers are like fleas, always there.. Memorial Day weekend is insane in DC, I forgot to mention.. its Rolling Thunders 'ride to the wall'.. to honor our Vets and to remind people to not forget our POW/MIAs.. otoh.. it is the best time to visit the wall and see what people leave.. There are two cruising guiddes to the chessie I can reccomend.. the traditional hard bound book and a smaller spiral bound.. totaly seperate..but each very good in its own way. If you call up to Hard Beans Books they usualy have a copy or two. its usualy last yrs but they don't seem to change all that much and the price is always less than half the current issue. Hard Beans is in annapolis. http://www.daedalusbooks.com/Products/Detail.asp?ProductID=70961&Media=Book&SubCategoryID=&ReturnUrl=%2FProducts%2FSearch%2FHomeQuickSearchResult%2Easp%3FSearch%3Dchesapeake%26Media%3D last yrs editioin is $5.98 plus shipping.. daedalus is a great place to find books.. As CT said.. Baltimore is a short ride from Annapolis.. we do have one thing I can truly reccomend www.bookthing.org its a local free book place.. open sat and sun 9am to 5pm.. all the free books you can carry out the door, and carry and carry.. I have loaded up on paperbacks more than a few time. Cookboks and other assorted books..all categorized.. I have to admit I will miss my huge asian/spanish grocery markets and probably will have to give up my butane stove when I leave.. I get Butane 4 cans for $5.25 normal price. I will stock up before I go south though. But as a stop for a boat, Annapolis is much better 'bella sv maja On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 2:04 PM, CT <c2sai...@gmail.com> wrote: > >>IN Baltimore the only thing I can see worth visiting, is Fort McHenry. > > And the aquarium.
