Excellent Discovery Guide Book

A wonderful guide to places to see & things to do when you want to hop to a nearby area but aren't familiar with it. 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.

great ideas for weekend trips

This book contains great ideas for weekend trips located through the mid-atlantic region. The book is arranged seasonally, recommending visits when a particular site is at its best, or when an event for festival is taking place. The book is not meant to be a travel book for a particular state, but rather as an idea generator for finding interesting ways to spend a weekend. The descriptions of the trips are well written, interesting reading on their own.

wonderful for planning that quick getaway

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!
