Annapolis is a favorite destination of mine, love to catch a mooring ball at just $25 per night, dinghy to shore or catch the water taxi. Reservations not accepted so don't arrive late on a Friday "in-season" and think there will be a vacant mooring, they fill quickly. Mid-week or early on Friday and you'll be okay.
While the Patapsco isn't a scenic river there is plenty to see, large merchant vessels (there's plenty of room, just stay out of the channel), the Francis Scott Key Bridge where there is a Star Spangled bouy marking the spot Francis Scott Key penned the Star Spangled Banner. Further up the river you'll actually pass Fort McHenry and ultimately into Baltimore's Inner Harbor. You'll want to stay at a marina.
Try anchoring in the Magothy River south of Baltimore for a "quiet get-away." As mentioned Swan Creek is right at Haven Habor and is a favorite for some. Take a trip up the Chester River (Eastern Shore) and there's plenty to explore including several creeks providing great anchorages.
St Michaels would be a good trip too and is approx 22 NM south of Rock Hall.
There's plenty to choose from so decide what you really want to experience and go for it. Let me know via PM if I may provide additional info.
