When we arrived we went straight to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. It was really quiet, I guess no one else was stupid enough to be out in the heat! We climbed to the top of the lighthouse for some lovely views around the area but after being outside for about 15 minutes we decided to head inside to one of the air conditioned exhibitions.
After cooling down we went back outside to board the museum's boat Mister Jim for a trip around the bay. We had a lovely 25 minute journey out into the bay, Chris and I were sat at the front of the boat and we had a gentle breeze keeping us cool. But as the boat turned back for the 25 minute journey back to land, the breeze disappeared and we were just sat in 100 degree heat. It was pretty unpleasant. We were glad to get back to the dock and headed straight back inside to another exhibition to try to dry out and cool down again.
Our next stop was next door to the museum - the Inn at Perry Cabin where some of the scenes in the movie Wedding Crashers were filmed. It's a beautiful hotel and has a great spot right on the edge of the water. We had a delicious afternoon tea then had a quick walk around the garden.
Before driving home we had a quick walk around the town. There were some nice shops and some cute buildings. If it wasn't so hot we would have spent a bit longer walking around. We got back to the car at 5.30pm and the temperature had cooled down a few degrees, it was now only 97! We got home at about 7pm and went straight down to the pool to cool off.
