A day out in Virginia
Discussion
SWMBO and I are off to the US in the last week of June!
We're spending 3 days in the Washington DC area. One day will be seeing the monuments etc in DC, one day visiting a friend in Woodbridge.
This leaves us one day to get out and see a different part of Virginia. Must be drivable there and back in a day from DC. We're looking for somewhere with good scenery, a bit historic and a bit less touristy.
I've heard Richmond or Williamsburg are nice, are they do-able in a day? What are the other options?
Cheers for any pointers,
Simon

shenandoah-
stunning. Can easily be done in a day.
IIRC Front royal is a typical shenandoah valley town
White water rafting there too..
For something a bit more historical and about an hour or so from DC
Harpers Ferry, a whole town devoted to the civil war, the underground railroad, and river tubing
A couple of decent caffs too.
