Who knew there were so many cute cities just a short train ride away from NYC? If you haven’t visited Annapolis, Maryland yet, you MUST add it to your bucket list! It was quickly added to my ‘top five favorite small cities in America’ list and I am already dreaming of our return.
Last weekend, Caleb and I tagged along my parents trip to Annapolis. We spent two gorgeous days there and it simply was not long enough! The first day was spent cruising around the Chesapeake Harbour on a gorgeous 82 ft yacht, soaking up the sun and eating more seafood then I could have imagined. You may have seen some of it on snapchat or instagram– it was seriously a feast and the food just kept coming! We even passed the home where they filmed Wedding Crashers on our cruise.
My two recommendations from our first day in Annapolis- first, get on a boat {sailboat, yacht, cruiser- your choice} and second, go straight to the Crab Claw Restaurant. And maybe a third tip- don’t wear white to the Crab Claw… learn from my mistake- the messier you get, the better ;) It’s supposed to be an adventure- right? More photos and a video of day 2 in my new favorite city coming soon! Stay posted!
See bottom of the post for giveaway details!
Anyone notice the new watch I am wearing in every photo? I’m pretty sure I’ve worn this wood watch every day since I received it. It is literally made of real wood and is the lightest, most comfortable watch I’ve ever worn. I love the neutral wood color and the fact that it matches every occasion- boating to hiking and fast-paced city life to slower holiday mode. And today could be your lucky day! One lucky reader will receive a $75 e-voucher towards the JORD Wood Watch of your choice {men’s watches here and women’s watches here}! And as a bonus, everyone who enters (excluding the winner) will get a $20 e-gift card toward any JORD Wood Watch! In this case, everybody really does win something!

Thank you Tyler!
Sooo jealous as I sit freezing here in South Australia! Looks like a gorgeous couple of days!
South Australia is on my bucket list!! Any suggestions or tips for when we do visit?!
Definitely checkout the Riverland, a group of towns along the Murray River. Great for houseboat holidays. Also McLaren Vale, the wine region xx
I’ve been to NYC twice but never really ventured outside of Manhattan. Annapolis looks amazing. I could sure get used to cruising in style like that!
If you have time, Annapolis should definitely be added to your bucket list! You will love it!
