Lancaster. You can stay downtown (we love the Marriott), do Dutch Wonderland, visit the Central Market, hit the outlets, explore the covered bridges/Amish, and eat some great meals m

Agree. I love Assateague.

We had a nice long weekend in Roanoke-hiking (including a natural water slide), Natural Bridge, hit Luray Caverns in the way home.

Blackwater falls or Canaan valley in WV.

My kids like Staunton.

We are looking to get away for 4 days at the end of summer with DC-7 years old. Willing to take a short flight if necessary but if driving would like to be within 4 hours of DC. Any recommendations appreciated, last year we did Boston and Williamsburg. We are not fans of NY, so nothing in that area.
