4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful for planning that quick getaway, January 13, 1999

This review is from: Away for the Weekend (R): Mid-Atlantic -- Revised and Updated Edition: Great Getaways within 250 Miles of Washington, D.C. in Delaware, Maryland, Virgi nia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New (1996) (Paperback)

Incredibly handy for those times when you decide on Saturday that you want to do "something different" this weekend, but have not a clue what are your options. Divided into activities appropriate for each season, the book suggests a wide range of trips around the area, from historic exploring to art appreciation to communing with nature. I had an old version of this book that I lent out and lost, and I loved it so much I'm buying another copy!

Takes you off the beaten path to discover interesting-curious-historical places not mentioned on the chamber websites. Offers succinct descriptions to evaluate the fit such a visit is for you and your family.
