Lewes DE, an 18th century fishing village, is on the bay rather than ocean. Easy ferry to Cape May to see Victorians and bike around. Lewes has a great biking trail and access to Rehoboth. Lots of decent restaurants, a great Farmers Market on Saturdays etc. |

| St. Michaels, or check out the Wylder Hotel on Tilghman Island. |

| Agree with St Michaels or Lewes. We have friends in both places and even going over for the day or an overnight is a nice escape. |

| Harpers Ferry is our go-to for a quick day trip, especially in the fall. If we have a full weekend we usually head to the Shenandoah Valley area, there are some really charming small towns along Route 11. Also love doing a random night at a B&B in Middleburg, feels like you're hours away but it's barely 45 min. |

| Unless you have young children I'd skip the Hyatt in Cambridge. I've stayed there many times and I'd call it a low 3 star. |

Agree on Lewes, Eastern Shore, Chesapeake Hyatt (hotel has declined, but Cambridge itself is improving--RAR not only great brewery, but fun restaurant now).
What about close PA locations? Falling water and other Wright sites in surrounding area are great; Hershey is interesting even if you don't go to the park though it probably is a destination that makes more sense w/ kids! |
