The Modest Budget: Summer Date Day in Annapolis

Instead of going home on the weekends, Jon and I are staying up in Maryland until we finish this job. This means we have more time to study/do homework, but it also means we can have some time to go exploring a little bit, too!

This past Saturday we took a much-needed date day to Annapolis, MD. We're been working 12- to 14-hour days, so even though we are up here together, we haven't been able to spend a lot of relaxed time together.

It was so refreshing to have some time together (and just check out the hot lunch date I had! *all the heart eyes*)
Shirt: Forever 21 // Shorts: h&m // Sandals: Trendsetter // Bracelets: Alex & Ani and Francesca's
(Similar links below)
One of our goals before we leave MD was to get some crabs (duh) and we checked that off our list!

We walked up and down streets, wandered around the Naval Academy, bought some t-shirts, and admired expensive clothes. To finish it off, we drank Starbucks on the steps while we watched this adorable kid named Tad play the ukulele.

My long sleeves probably weren't ideal for a day in the sunshine, but the lightweight fabric was perfect. And how fun are these neon shorts? Quickly becoming my favorites; I'm finding they go with almost anything! (Both things were from a year or two ago, so I linked some similar looks below!)
It was a great date day and the most restful weekend we've had in a while. I love married adventures!
How was your weekend? Do anything crazy?;)
