Those of you who live in the MD/DC area: I am looking for day-trip location suggestions. I really haven't been all that many places since I moved here

Posted by kelly (aka kelly) Jan 6 '09, 06:03

and am looking for somewhere interesting to check out. I know there are a lot of Civil War battlefields around here but that is probably one thing I am not interested in seeing. :)

Any suggestions? TIA

As long as you have the cash, I think the best place to visit in the winter is the Inner Harbor. - Inigo Jan 6, 06:22
and in the spring when their season starts, you really need to go to the bengies drive in up by baltimore -- nm - prayformojo Jan 6, 06:17
The Art musuems are fun, American History, the Chantilly Air and Space (also has an IMAX) - MDH Jan 6, 06:11
harper's ferry is kinda cool - really nice drive out there (esp in fall), but can be a little crowded. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 6, 06:09 3
- hmm, I'm only 25 minutes or so from HF - that might be something different. -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:17
- An even longer trip, but the Shenandoah Valley is good. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 06:14 1
  - ~ Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you... ~ -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 06:21
Everything DH said and then I'd like to go to Arlington Nat'l Cemetary. National Gallery of Art etc... - Diva Jan 6, 06:07
Spy Museum! - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:06 8
- And you have to be in the right frame of mind before going, but the Holocaust museum was very moving. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:07 7
  - I've been there before - once was definitely enough. - kelly Jan 6, 06:08 6
    - did you see my mailbox? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:23 5
      - er, in the Spy Museum. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:24 4
        
        I haven't been to Spy. I was referring to Holocaust. :) -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:25 3
        
        Spy is excellent. (and my mailbox is in it, for real) -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:26 2
        
        I know! :) - kelly Jan 6, 06:28 1
        
        oh right. duh. Also, for pretty neighborhoods, you could try Georgetown and Old Town. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:28
Which museums have you been to in DC? Start there, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 06:05 2
- I've been to: Holocaust, Air & Space, the Freer art gallery (I think that was what it was called), Natural History. -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:10 1
  - ok, you need to do American History and National Gallery. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:26
Annapolis, especially on a nice sunny day. Inner harbor. Philly. Smithsonian museum tour. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 06:05 1
- and west of philly to Lancaster and amish country -- nm - decline Jan 6, 06:20
