| Myself and my eldest just had a terrific 3 day trip to the Raleigh area. Does anyone have any recommendations for other trips within about 5 hours of DC that would be good for us? Philadelphia is our next obvious choice but I am sure I am missing plenty of others. (For some reason not NYC - I think that may be a bit much for us and a little too pricey.) We are fairly laid back - we just enjoy our time away together without her younger siblings! Ideas would be much appreciated. TIA! |

| Baltimore actually is a good city with kids. You can also go out to Shenandoah-- maybe stay at Skyland. |

| My daughter loves to visit Lancaster County PA - not too far away - she loves animals so we do farm stays when we are there. She gets to collect eggs, groom horses, etc. |

Philly would be great, you could also do NYC more affordably by staying in Seacaucus because there a number of good chain hotels there and an easy express bus into the city.
What did you do in Raleigh? I would love ideas! |

| Into history, then Williamsburg and you can even take a day at the Great Wolf Lodge if you like. |

| I've taken my DD to Chincoteague to see the ponies and play on the beach, Annapolis, Charlottesville and Luray Caverns. |

| Pittsburgh is actually a great city, with so much to do (and an easy 4 hour drive away) |

| I have to second Shenandoah and a lovely ramble down Skyline Drive, especially this time of year. |
