Annapolis, Maryland



Recently, The GW Pre-College Programs took all of us to Annapolis Maryland this past Saturday. We were able to explore many aspects of the city and get a lovely change of scenery from Washington D.C.
 

We first started by taking a tour of the U.S. Naval Academy located in the heart of Annapolis. We were able to get an inside look of the university and learn what it's like to go there. Every student in attendance there must serve at least three years after they graduate to repay their country. They have several traditions and a long history that was fascinating to learn. Their buildings reached to the sky and were one of the most beautiful campus facilities I'd ever scene. 



To end the day, we took a tour of the Maryland state house and were able to explore many of the historic settings of were Geroge Washington himself stood. The original Senate is replicated there as well as were Washington seceded as president. 


Lastly, we were able to explore the shops of Annapolis for an hour or so before heading back to the bus and traveling back to D.C.
