"I plan to keep Weekend Getaways in my glove compartment."
--Willard Scott
from the foreword, written for the first edition
Washington, D.C.'s location makes it an ideal base for hundreds of one- or two-day getaways. Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, and North Carolina are all within easy traveling distance, and each offers delightful things to see and do.
The original spirit of this guide has been maintained. This completely updated edition contains descriptions of and contact information for attractions and activities ranging from museums and battlefields to polo matches and hang gliding. Complementing the detailed listings are chapters on special interests like antiquing, archaeology, and African-American heritage. Exploring the riches of the mid-Atlantic region is further simplified by the inclusion of many hot lines and Web sites for tourism offices, visitors bureaus, and chambers of commerce.
ROBERT SHOSTECK (1910-79) was a wonderful travel author who spent a lot of time in the DC region. He had many different vocations during his life, including forest ranger, historian, professor, and museum director.
