Day 14 - June 18

No sick kids today!! We rented a car and made for Annapolis - sailing capital of the US and also home to the Naval Academy. We walked the "fancy' (as Isabel would say) grounds of the Academy and visited the final resting place of John Paul Jones. The streets of Annapolis are also extremely historic and subsequently filled with expensive shops and were super crowded. One highlight however was the Maryland State House which is a majestic building and was briefly the capital of the US in 1783-84. Liam has been able to put a picture to so much of that American history he has been learning at school.

After dinner we all wandered down past the White House and on to the Memorials to see them in their grandeur at night.
