A Quick Picture Tour of Annapolis Highlights

 Back in August we walked around Annapolis, Maryland's Capital city, located on the Chesapeake Bay. We've been there countless times since it's not far from where we live, but I thought you'd like to see some of the pictures to remind you that it's worth a visit!

THE JUDGE THURGOOD MARSHALL MEMORIAL- The placement of the Thurgood Marshall memorial on Lawyers' Mall, also known as State House Square, in Annapolis is especially appropriate, as it is on almost the exact spot where the Maryland Court of Appeals stood in 1935, when Marshall argued the Murray case before that court.
