Hi Everyone. Today's trip is to Annapolis, Maryland. It is a
historical city with a beautiful harbor.
Annapolis is the capital of the U.S. state of Maryland, as well as the
county seat of Anne Arundel County. It had a population of 38,394 at
the 2010 census and is situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of
the Severn River. The city was the temporary capital of the United
States in 1783−1784. Annapolis is the home of the United States
Naval Academy and also St. John's College.
The Maryland State House is the oldest in continuous legislative use in
the United States. Construction started in 1772, and the Maryland
legislature first met there in 1779. It is topped by the largest
wooden dome built without nails in the country. The Maryland State
House housed the workings of the United States government from
November 26, 1783 to August 13, 1784, and the Treaty of Paris was
ratified there on January 14, 1784, so Annapolis became the first
peacetime capital of the US.
The United States Naval Academy was founded in 1845 on the site of Fort
Severn, and now occupies an area of land reclaimed from the Severn
River next to the Chesapeake Bay.
Annapolis has a thriving community theater scene which includes shows
throughout the year. There are many museums, historical sites and
monuments throughout the city.
February is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
22 and 37 degrees Fahrenheit. August is normally the warmest month
with average temperatures between 69 and 91 degrees F. October is
normally the rainiest month with a average of 7 inches, with a yearly
total of 38 inches of rain. December is normally the snowiest month
with an average of 3 inches, with a yearly total of 4 inches of snow.
I hope you enjoy this trip to Annapolis, Maryland.
