Sightseeing
The Naval Academy is a must-visit for anyone coming to Annapolis! It's a unique combination of an educational institution, historic landmark/tourist attraction, and military base. Be sure to tour the chapel, the John Paul Jones vault, the museum (especially the ship models upstairs!), and Bancroft Hall--the home of all the midshipmen.

There are several touristy "general store" shops on Main Street and down by the docks with Annapolis and Maryland merchandise and other fun souvenirs. This happens to be my favorite because of their large, diverse selection, good sales, + some yummy fresh treats.
