suggestions for road trip from DC
We are looking sight seeing in October, not the ocean. So I would say
Culture, History, and Nature would all be considered. Thanks for the suggestions so far. "Miguel Cruz" wrote in message ... wojo wrote: Two adults, three kids (teen, pre-teen, and first grader).

You could drive part of the way out 211, visit some of the sights on the Mosby Heritage Area, and learn some Civil War History. (Note the Mosby Heritage Area is NOT just in the 211 area, I suggest this as a route to accomodate other places, and because it is such a pretty drive) Information is at http://www.mosbyheritagearea.org/ While you are there, you could visit some wonderful Virginia Wineries, especially Grey Ghost, Oasis, or if you go further north, Crysalis, Loudoud Valley, Tarara, Breaux. More info at http://www.virginiawines.org You could visit Luray Caverns in Luray Virginia, which the kids would probably enjoy quite a lot. Then head south on Skyline drive to the Charlottesville area where you can visit Monticello, and a number of attractions. If you head back through the center of the state, you could come via Richmond (which has several good muesums including a children's museum.) and pass Kings Dominion, for a day at a theme park (always a good idea with kids). Also, the suggestion for Hampton Roads area does not have to limit you to Williamsburg or include Beaches. Hampton Roads has a great maritime museum, and you can visit the port of Norfolk ans see how a port works.
