So many wonderful comments about our Chinese Princess…it makes my Mama heart so Happy! We are on the road this weekend to Philadelphia and a first train ride for the Princess…
The Princess and I are always up for adventure and with the weather turning warmer ( Although Snow? This afternoon? Really?) we will be able to resume our walks around beautiful Downtown Annapolis. The Navy has brought us to the gem of a city but our hearts are leading us to stay…
We start at our beautiful 1920 Four square rental…It does look spectacular in the winter but I am ready for Spring
We stroll past one of my dream houses…Annapolis is full of dream houses. This is Acton House and it was built in 1770. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Reynolds’s Tavern is located on Church Circle and serves High Tea on the weekends…I can’t wait to take Princess in a few years…they also have a beer Garden in the summer…my husband prefers that experience.
The best part of Reynold’s tavern is Darim..the wonderful flower guy. His flowers are lovely and reasonably priced..plus he is the happiest person I ever met…
Our Princess last year enjoying the flowers!
We head down the most beautiful Main Street in the country…
…To the ultimate ice cream experience...Storm Brothers….guaranteed to be filled with handsome (and beautiful ) Midshipman on the weekend…
*Sigh* I can’t believe I live in this beautiful city.
Come and visit…The Princess and I will meet you downtown…we can have ice cream together…or crab cakes…your choice!

Wow, you do live in a beautiful city! And the home you’ll be living in is wonderful. You and Princess will have many happy memories I know, and hubby too! The Main Street looks like the one at Disney World! The flower guy does look like a very happy guy, who wouldn’t be happy to be surrounded by such beauty?
Thanks so much for sharing and Happy Spring!

Hi Amy,
Your town looks charming. It reminds me of where I live where we are surrounded by water and a slower moving life style. Love your house! How lovely to have a front veranda. And yes, I agree that is a dream house that you admire. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day.
Blessings,
