Will this disappoint me if I grew up with New England coastal summers

This is not a whole vacation but if you've never taken your little kids here you're missing out. My kids are in their twenties and still talk about this place:

No other parameters - just curious what others have found. I’m getting more and more tired of flying and want to explore the mid Atlantic more.

Spend the day white water rafting at Ohiopyle, spend the night and then tour Falling Water and Polymath Park

Massanutten is also fun!

Southern Maryland (by St. Mary's) is underrated and there is no bay bridge traffic.

Shepherdstown/Harpers Ferry is a neat getaway (especially in the Fall or summer).

I’d recommend seeing Kentuck Knob. In some ways we liked it better than Falling Water.
