Pusser's Landing (Annapolis, MD)

We found Pusser's Landing after doing a little bit of research on the restaurants in Annapolis, and we were glad we spent the time doing our research! The restaurant, located a fair walk from the main shopping district in Annapolis, is located adjacent to the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront hotel.

The restaurant was packed and we were glad we had made reservations in advance. We were seated at a large table for 2 in the restaurant. The restaurant is large and has a dining room, a bar area, and a patio on the marina.

To start our meals, we ordered the Pusser's Painkiller, level 2, and an Annapolis Sunset. The Painkiller, while we expected it to be heavy on the alcohol and sweet, was delicious. The Annapolis Sunset was good, but mediocre in comparison to the restaurant's signature drink.

For dinner, we ordered the Mahi Mahi and one of the night's specials, a grilled cobia fillet with mango salsa. Both fishes were cooked perfectly - a nice crust on all sides and a moist, flaky interior.

Even though the restaurant was busy, at no point did we feel rushed through our meal or unattended by the waitstaff.

We would recommend stopping by Pusser's in Annapolis for a bite to eat or grab a drink at their bar before hitting the shops for the day.

Jo Jo's Cupcake & Cream

On a beautiful spring day in downtown Annapolis, MD, we were craving some of the wonderful looking cupcakes AND ice cream that others were walking around town with. Then we stumbled across Jo Jo's, which offers a 1 scoop of ice cream and cupcake sundae combo (perfect!). We chose the Cookie Monster cupcake and Cookie Monster ice cream (because, YOLO?).

The cupcake was moist and the icing was delicious. The ice cream was creamy and had a lot of chunks in it. Combined, it was the perfect treat on a warm spring day.

Sofi's Crepes

After our tour of the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, we stopped at Sofi's Crepes for lunch. The small shop, which only boasts a few tables outdoors, is located just outside the walls of the Naval Academy.

We ordered the Reuben and the Godfather crepes, which are served street food style, and perfect to nosh on as you walk through town.

The Reuben was delicious; messy, but delicious. The meat was tender and moist and the sauerkraut and dressing a perfect complement. The Godfather tasted like a perfect French Stromboli. The mozzarella was melty and the meats heated together had a wonderful flavor.

Sofi's definitely feels like one of those great hidden gems in Annapolis.

US Naval Academy Tour

The United States Naval Academy is an exclusive higher education school for the future officers of our Navy and Marines.  Many people apply each year, but few are accepted as the educational and physical requirements are strict.  When visiting Annapolis, you can take a tour of the facilities and learn what life is like for the students.

The campus is gorgeous, and is located right in the Annapolis harbor area, an easy walk to the main touristy area.  The tour will last about 90 minutes and you'll get to see a good amount of the campus.  Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable and proud of the academy.

This is definitely the highlight of any trip to Annapolis, and anyone with any interest in the US military would enjoy their time spent here.
