The Wilhite's Go To D.C.-Part 4

PART 4...

FRIDAY, SEPT. 19-ANNAPOLIS AND THE NAVAL ACADEMY
Friday,, Barrett and Suzann (and Hannah!) took us to Annapolis and the Naval Academy. It was a beautiful, quaint little city with lots of cool history. The Naval Academy was having parents' weekend, so we got to see a fly-over and we got to see the cadets marching into lunch. It was really neat and a beautiful campus!

Walking down the streets of Annapolis. Lots of cute little shops lined the streets. You could spend forever here just perusing the shops. The Chesapeake Bay was down at the end of the street and you could see the boats in the harbor. Such a serene and tranquil view.
Eating crab at a local restaurant. Yummy!
The Chapel at the Naval AcademyThe view of the Bay. It was so cool-in the low 70's with a nice breeze blowing. Perfect weather!
In front of the oldest State House still in use. It was closed for renovation but we still got to take a picture.
Well, that was it! Yesterday, Saturday the 20th, we got up at 6:00 am to catch our 9:00 flight out of Baltimore. From there we headed to Philly for our 3 hour trip back to DFW. Hope was SOOO tired and it was NOT a fun flight. She screamed at least a few times. Luckily there were other kids on that flight too, so we all just screamed together! Our friends Seth and Becca who lived in Plano picked us up (thanks guys!) and we got home at about 3:00 yesterday. We are SO tired! It's amazing how much all that takes out of you! I went to bed at 9:00 last night, I was so tired. Hope took a nap yesterday when we got home, then slept for 12 hours last night and then took a 4 hour nap when we got home from church today! She is just tuckered out! It was so worth it though, and we made lots of good memories!!! Now to start planning our next vacation... ;)
