Annapolis - Storm Bros Ice Cream, Pusser's Restaurant, Vivo

This was our first time in Annapolis and were really glad such a nice place was so close to where we live.  We only went for a half day, but a horse and buggy ride, boat tour, and trolley ride are all on our to-do list for next time.

There were alot of great ice cream spots, but Storm Bros. had factory in the name so we had to go - then some locals confirmed it was the best place in town.

Pusser's was a recommendation from this same local and had a good kids menu.  We both had different kinds of fish and it was all delicious if not slightly expensive.  Try to call ahead so you can reserve a table on the deck and watch the boats float by.   There is no railing so keep hold of your toddler's hand.  (410) 626-0004

Vivo is actually a women's clothes store, but had an off-beat kids toy section and some rarer kid's clothes.  It's tough to give Mom a break and entertain your little one at one store so this place made the cut for this list.

There are some great planeterium shows for kids here, with Sesame Street characters and others. There is plenty to see on any given day including climbing on board planes of different eras. And of course, it's free!
