Oriole Park at Camden Yards (Baltimore, Maryland)

Being on the East Coast, where states and cities are situated close together, it has been easy to stay in one location while visiting various attractions.  Catching a baseball game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland was a quick drive from our RV Park near Washington D.C. Camden Yards was built on land that once served as the rail yard for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Camden Station, and the view from much of the park is dominated by the former rail station warehouse behind the right-field wall. The day we attended the Orioles were playing the Washington Nationals, so it was a game between the neighborhood teams.  Orioles won with a final of 2-1.

Annapolis, Maryland

Annapolis is situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River, only 26 miles south of Baltimore, 29 miles east of Washington D.C., and is part of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area.  But with a population under 37,000, and a downtown that looks like time stood still 200 years ago, Annapolis is quaint, picturesque, and charming.  The city is rich with history that goes back to the birth of this country.  It was the temporary capital of the US from December 1783 through August 1784.  It was here, and in the capitol building that stands today, that General George Washington resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. Today the State House is the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use.
