Maren & Wyatt
Things To Do
Tour the United States Naval Academy
The US Naval Academy is open for tours! You can book an official tour or you can walk around campus yourself. Plan time to walk around so you can see the crypt of John Paul Jones, the grave of John McCain, and the famous "Don't Give Up The Ship" flag. Note from Maren: I've had the chance to visit Wyatt at USNA many times over the years and it is a gorgeous campus!
Tour the Monuments and Museums
Touring the monuments has always been a fun and special time for Maren and I. Some of our favorites are the Lincoln memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, and the Smithsonian museums. We recommend downloading the app "SpotHero" to find cheaper parking spots.
Iron Rooster- Annapolis
Get a "RoosTart" from a frequently visited food spot in Annapolis. These homemade poptarts are both huge and super tasty.
Georgetown
Georgetown is a historic neighborhood in DC with cobblestone streets and old buildings that give it a unique charm. It's full of interesting shops, cafes, and restaurants, so there's plenty to do. Don't forget to grab a cupcake from Georgetown Cupcakes—they’re a must-try. Whether you're walking by the river or checking out the main streets, Georgetown is a great place to hang out and enjoy the day.
International Spy Museum
Maren and I aren't allowed to talk about our super secret trip to the Spy Museum...but if I had to guess what someone would say about it, the International Spy Museum in DC is packed with cool exhibits on espionage, from real-life spy gadgets to undercover missions. It's a fun and interactive way to dive into the secretive world of spies. Tickets are limited, so make sure to buy them in advance if you plan on going!
Downtown Annapolis
Annapolis is a charming waterfront town that's perfect for a day trip. With its rich history, beautiful colonial architecture, and vibrant harbor, there's plenty to see and do. You can stroll through the historic district and grab some fresh seafood. It's a laid-back place with a lot of character, making it a great spot to relax and explore.
