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 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.
