Travel tips from Scott's mom and dad, Carolyn and David
Summer is the most popular time, but fall is ideal—less crowded, and the foliage is gorgeous.
The nearest airport is Baltimore's BWI, a 25-minute drive from Annapolis. Lots of visitors day-trip from Washington D.C., about 45 minutes away by car.
Marriott Annapolis Waterfront
The best choice for families—located downtown, right on the water. The lobby is filled with ship models. 80 Compromise St.; 800/393-0047; annapolismarriott.com; doubles from $299.
This 18th-century hotel near the State House is where the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, was drafted. 16 Church Circle; 410/263-2641; annapolisinns.com; doubles from $249.
Head south on Route 2 for 20 minutes, to 214 (W. Central Ave.). Homestead Gardens (743 W. Central Ave.; Davidson; 800/300-5631; homesteadgardens.com) has llamas, pumpkin picking, and sometimes even live reggae.
