| Hi - I have family coming to town who are going to watch my kids for one night while DH and I go away. We would leave before noon Saturday and need to be back Sunday afternoon. Ideas on location/hotels within 2 hours that are $200 or so? Don't want to get into $400 per night hotels. I was thinking of doing Falling Water in Pennsylvania but not sure I want to drive 4 hours each way in 36 hours or so. Other interesting ideas closer to DC? Thanks. |

| What do you want to do? We went to chestertown on the eastern shore and stayed at a cute B and B (they had fireplaces in every room and a lovely view of the bay) and just enjoyed being together and walking around arm in arm and stopping into stores and for coffee. |

| Any of the b&b's or independent boutique inns in Rappahannock or Culpeper counties would work for you. Awesome views and dining, plus all the wine you can taste if you're into that. |

| The Bartlett Pear Inn in Easton, Md. Small, wonderful food, and gracious owners. |

| Baltimore or Philadelphia - go to museums and not-kid-friendly restaurants |

+1 We really loved our weekend there; great food. Slightly further about 2.5 hours is Bedford Springs Resort. |

| DH and I manage a kid-free getaway for about the same amount of time (less than a full weekend) about once a year. Our go-to place has become Winchester/Harper's Ferry area--but we usually plan a long hike so that's a big part of why. But that area is scenic, low-key, and if we want to catch a movie or something we can do that too. |

| Thanks, everyone! Really appreciate the suggestions and keep 'em coming if there are new ones. I definitely like the looks of the Bartlett Pear in Easton. |

| Last time I looked at Bartlett pear they had a two night minimum. |

Yes, this is tricky about many places. Inns tend to be better about this than bed and breakfasts. |

| Hyatt Chesapeake is supposed to be nice although there may be kids there because it has an indoor pool |

| Inn at Perry Cabin or what about doing wine tasting in Barboursville and staying in Charlottesville? |
