A limo service to the boat show!

Our next journey takes us across the pond to the world sailing capital, Annapolis, Maryland, home of the Annapolis Sailboat Show.  Not to be ones to shy away from a good trip to a “drinking town with a sailing problem” we set off to visit the sailboat capital of the world to see what she would have in store for us.  Once we had decided to visit the capital of wind boats, we decided that we should visit during the Annapolis Annual Sailboat Show.

Held each year, the show boasts the largest collection of sailboats from manufacturers and private sellers around the world.  Visitors flock to the quaint capital of Maryland (officially the smallest capital city in the states) to eat, drink, and … well see sailboats.  Home to the US Naval Academy, Annapolis is steeped in Naval history going back to the time of George Washington.

As we arrived at Thurogood Marshall Airport (commonly called Baltimore Washington International or BWI), we were met by a driver from a local limo service called Naptown Limos.  The limousine was chauffeured by a courteous driver who whisked us away in style towards our hotel in downtown Annapolis.  I am personally thankful we had a driver for this trip.  Normally we travel on a strict budget, but since this was my 60th birthday celebration, my wife and I decided to splurge a bit.

While in Annapolis, we had a wonderful time meeting new folks and seeing all the beautiful sail boats from around the world.  Some of our favorite memories included our late nights in the small pubs in down town Annapolis, or having our limousine take us to Baltimore to visit one of the many fine dining establishments there.
