Narrative:
Finally got a good day, WX wise, in the philadelphia area and decided to take a pleasure flight to have some lunch at the bay bridge airport in maryland (W29). Worked phl approach for VFR TA's. As I left the philadelphia area, I was told to squawk 1200 and try potomac approach. I just thought the handoff was for continued VFR flight following and attempted 1 call. I heard nothing, so I continued since I was only about 15 mi to the north of bay bridge, our destination. I was explaining to my passenger how to stay below washington baltimore class B airspace on my garmin 530. Thought I did a good job, until I landed, and was told I violated the tfr airspace around the washington area. I was met by the custom's people, showed them the paperwork they requested, told what I had done, was told to call TRACON, which I did. Then, I proceeded to file a VFR flight plan, got a discrete code, and departed for wing's field (LOM) my home field.
