Hotels After researching some Annapolis hotels I'd suggest you try Priceline, name your own price, or Hotwire. Annapolis Downtown is closer to USNA, but will require extra $ for parking like usna1985 said. Annapolis (non-downtown) is about a 10 minute drive with free parking and some of those...

Thanks so much.

Advance planning in progress: Do any prior MMI parents recall when they were able to pick their MMI kids up in May and bring them home? Is it after "SAP Convocation" or "Graduation and Commissioning"? I am hoping to secure a hotel. Thanks in advance. (of course I can give MMI a call in the...

Baseball 15 Congrats!

I believe we'll hear early-mid May.

Thanks for those specifics!
