Hello!
I am looking for some much needed advice for traveling this summer. My husband and I are in desperate need of a vacation this summer after a rough year. We want to plan a trip to somewhere that is driving distance from Baltimore for July/August (husband's not a good flyer). We are thinking that down south will be too hot so probably something more toward the North East, surrounding MD, or further west from Maryland. We are either looking for a place to travel and stay for a week or so OR multiple places to stay at for a few days. We're not campers/outdoors types - we are more looking for some places with nice hotels, B & B's, cottages, etc. and fun/relaxing things to do (restaurants, bars, museums, beaches, etc). The only thing we have ruled out is New York City and cruises because we've done both many times. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

You can extend your range if you ride on Amtrak. Do you want to be near the ocean (CT, DE and MD) or inland (IN or OH)?
What haven't you seen already?
We haven't seen much at all on the East Coast other than places within Maryland... both of us have mostly traveled South or on cruises for vacations. Honestly - we have no idea if we want to do Ocean/Inland...we are just looking to find some place (or places) that are new and interesting
Don;t know what you mean by driving distance - but I would go for New England. Nothing as relaxing as a week at the beach along with some sightseeing. No need to go all the way to Maine - Cape Cod or even further south along the coast has beaches and a lot to do.
