Maryland Love

I'm usually pretty critical of my home state.  I'm not a fan of crabs (too much work, not enough food).  I've never understood Lacrosse.  The Ravens are the only great team we have (those poor O's never stand a chance).  Our "city" is no where near as cool as NY's.  And don't even get me started on how it's portrayed in movies and television...(As much as I like you, I'm looking at you Bourdain!)

But I have to admit, lately I've been seeing more of the plus-es than the minuses of our fair state.  For example, last night was just an ordinary night in Annapolis, nothing special...

 

This is the Pride of Baltimore 2, sailing into Annapolis Harbor.  Where else can you get a view like this on a Wednesday evening?  If given the chance (and the cash) I'd probably set my sites on Paris or San Francisco, but for now, maybe Maryland isn't so bad...
