Berkley Springs, W. Va.

We did this in Staunton pre-baby. Zynadoa is a great restaurant, there are some cute antique shops, you can catch a play at the Shakespeare theater, and then before you head home, drive out to the wineries/breweries that are about 30 minutes away. It was perfect for an overnight - any longer and you'd be bored out of your mind.

We loved Charlottesville, VA. We stayed at 200 South Street Inn. Just a block or so from a pedestrian mall with lots of cute shops and good restaurants. Lots of historic places to visit nearby.

I happened to pass through New hope PA and Lambertville NJ while visiting my sister in Princeton. They are on opposite sides of the Delaware River, connected by a bridge. Quaint buildings, antiquing, B&Bs. Not sure about museums but Princeton itself had a top-notch university museum and would be 30 mins from those 2 towns. And in that area is the Washington crossing state(?) park, though I haven't been.

The Delaware river in New hope:Lambertville looked very nice and scenic.

Princeton is about 3 hours by car from Dc. Another 20-30 to new hope. Maybe a bit far for overnight though.

New Hope is an excellent suggestion. Also:

Emmitsburg MD
Charlottesville VA
Staunton VA
Fredericksburg VA
Lancaster PA (really all the Dutch country area)

Area around Altoona PA - We just returned from a long road trio where we drove I70 towards I99, passed lots of gorgeous small towns

We recently stayed at the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg. I am not sure you can get a room for $250 a night, but possible. It is a lovely estate with a charming pool in the shadows of a old mansion's ruins. The breakfast is delicious and is included in the cost. The dinner is not - and is expensive - but really worth it. It was a really nice getaway without a long drive, and the drive is mostly nice as well. There are shops and galleries in Middleburg. There is a spa at the hotel as well.

My advice - if you have a choice of rooms and are looking for peace and quiet and to sleep in, do not stay in the Carriage House which is where the restaurant is! We did - it was fine, but if I were going back I would choose a different room in one of the houses further away from the restaurant.

For one night, I wouldn't want to travel more than an hour or two. We live in Falls Church and the drive was just over an hour.

Have fun!

+1. Amazing inn and restaurant. It's also close to Midleburg and hiking at Shenandoah (although it's a bit hot for that).
