Where to go for long weekend?
 

We are planning a Labor Day weekend trip - its our anniversary. Not sure where to go - must be within 2-3 hours driving distance of Virginia Beach and have nice resorts/hotels with plenty of activities, restaurants and scenery. We like "active" type vacations. Ideas, anyone?

How about Kitty Hawk, NC?

What is there to do in Kitty Hawk?

The Wright Brothers museum. I've never been there but would like to.

What about night life? Is there any on the Outer Banks?

How about Charlottesville? It might be slightly more than three hours, but not much. I think it's beautiful and very romantic. There seems to be plenty of nice restaurants and shopping. You could go for a hot air balloon ride or wine tasting, visit Monticello, take a cooking class at the Boar's Head Inn. In fact, Boar's Head Inn looks like a nice place to stay. I've never been there myself, but was checking it out on line at one time.

Since you like active, you and your hubby can stay home and run the Va. beach Rock and Roll Half marathon with me on 9/3. I coming up from Charleston for it. lace em' up and hit the road!

How about Baltimore MD - Inner Harbor area is great -- plenty of activities and restaurants.

Richmond's a fun place too - lots of great places to eat, parks, museums ...
