Question

How do I get to the Chapel

Answer

Hello Friends! Here are your logistics for the weekend. Since the Naval Academy is a military base, we have some restrictions to how you can get onto The Yard and we ask you please follow these instructions due to the nature of the academy. If you are active duty military (especially those Academy grads coming) you are able to drive on if you like. For our friends that are not active duty: 1. If you would like to walk on, you are able to walk onto the yard and to the Chapel, see map. YOU MUST HAVE VALID ID TO GET THROUGH SECURITY. You will walk through the security checkpoint at Gate 1 and onto the yard. 2. If you are driving a personal vehicle, you will park at the stadium and take the bus that we have arranged for you, the buses will circle from the stadium to the academy twice. Once at 1:00 PM and again at 1:30 PM, please be on time and PLEASE HAVE ID. 3. If you would like to Uber, you may Uber to the stadium to take the bus or to the main gate and walk through security.

Question

Question

When should we book our travel?

Answer

We would highly recommend booking your travel as early as possible! September is a very busy month in Annapolis and at the academy (and that was before all the 2020 postponements), which means hotel rooms may go quickly. The good news is, if you reserve a room through the discount link at The Graduate, you can cancel up to 48 hours before with no charge; so there's really no reason not to reserve your room now!

Question

Answer

Definitely! Check out the "Things to Do" page above for some of our favorite places in Annapolis and into Washington DC.

Question

Answer

We are registered here on Zola, additionally Amazon and William Sonoma (both linked to Zola as well). See "Registry".

Question

Where do y'all live now?

Answer
