Annapolis day trip
We're heading to DC on April 6-9 in hopes of catching the cherry blossom. Have a pretty packed schedule on 6,7 and 8th, but the 9th is free. Since we're flying out of BWI we thought it might be a good idea to rent a car and take a short day trip to Annapolis. We're hoping to "catch" the new crab season's catch and whatever else the food/tourist scene of Annapolis has to offer. Don't have a lot of time, we can be there as early as 9 AM and have to leave by 1:30 or so.
Any ideas/suggestions?

Don't bother with crabs in MD this time of year--it's way too early in the season. If you go for crabs now, the ones you'll be served are from down south, like Louisiana. Not worth it. Baltimore is a lot more interesting than Annapolis (except for the latter's nautical scenery), so if you're flying out of BWI, might as well go there. Way better food to be had, also.

I think the naval academy grounds are interesting. There's a small museum of military history. More importantly, the setting is stunning, especially at dusk. The town has a historic downtown area. There are also some decent restaurants.
