Hubby and I went to Annapolis last night. I wanted to research some places that I used in my next novel, Bittersweet Memories. I used a tourist book about Maryland and Virginia to get the information about the places I’d used, also, I found information about the places on the internet. I also called the restaurants while I was writing the book if I had specific questions. I’d meant to visit Annapolis sooner, while I was writing the book, however, I didn’t have time! Now that I’ve visited, I’ve seen that my descriptions were pretty accurate. When I’m in the copyediting stage, I’m still allowed to make changes, and there are a few things I will be changing slightly.
Here’s the pics:
I have a scene take place at the Annapolis Ice Cream Company. They make their own ice cream, and they bake their pies and cobblers and smash them into the homemade ice cream! We had Blackberry Cobber ice cream! Yum!

Inside the Annapolis Ice Cream Company!
Decorated plastic spoons at the Ice Cream Company. They even had decorated spoons for sale. However, these spoons are NOT to be used for eating!
Ships on the marina.
I have one scene that takes place at The Rockfish.
I have one scene that takes place at Carrol’s Creek Cafe. Great food! Don’t let the name fool you, though. Carrol’s Creek is NOT a cafe-style place. It’s a pretty upscale restaurant, and the food is great!
People dining outside at Carrol’s Creek. This restaurant is located right beside the marina. You can watch the ships on the water while you dine!

Hope you enjoyed my pics! We had a lovely time in Annapolis last night!
Great pictures, Cecelia. Is a story about this area in your future?
I enjoyed your post. Now to think of a place where I can do research!
