Hi, we live in VA and would like to do a short trip for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Yes, I realize it's last minute. We are a young couple, but I'm pregnant and he's got a knee problem, so we don't need a place with ski slopes. just snow. Any ideas? I'm thinking no further than WV/PA/TN.

Oooh, and as you can tell by the screenname, I love to eat, especially good gourmet type food. We have eaten our way through Vermont, Drank our way through RI and Mass. , and ate and drank our way through London and Paris. If you know of a Vermont-type place in the South, please suggest it. Chocolate, cheese and wine (oh, boo hoo...no wine for me) free tastings every couple miles would be ideal!!!

Thanks!

Thanks!

You will not be guaranteed snow at Christmas unless you come MUCH farther north than WV/PA/TN.

Mountain Top Inn in Vermont. It has horse-drawn sleighs, a hot tub, and x-country ski trails that you can walk along. Really great food. A nice little town nearby.

You MAY be lucky to see some snow in upper elevations along Blue Ridge Parkway. I recomend visiting Asheville, NC. It is a beautiful mountain gem even without snow. As wliwl said, you will not be guaranteed snow at Christmas unless you come farther north than WV/PA/TN.

Thanks everyone. I guess we'll just stay home with the dogs. They like Christmas and don't want to spend it alone anyway. That place in Vermont sounds great. I would LOVE to go back to Vermont.

Go to Montreal and/or Quebec City. We did a Christmas trip with our grownup kids one year and it was magical! Wonderful food, beautiful snow, great shopping.
