Anna:
Annapolis and Washington, DC are not really in close
proximity, you'll need two days-one for each facility.
Here's the link to the Info for Researchers at NARA,
click on Research Room rules for info on what is and
isn't allowed. Appears you can bring laptops and
cameras and "approved" scanners.

MD archives rules are posted here
http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/forms/html/rules.html
appears you can ask permission to use cameras (but it
doesn't look like they are very happy about them).
Laptops okay but no scanners of any sort.
MD archives has a decent sized (free) parking lot but
when you go to NARA you'll need to either pay big
bucks for a parking garage or take a metro train in
from the suburbs. There's no parking to be had easily
or cheaply in DC.
