Quick Escapes Washington, D.C 24 Weekend Getaways from Nation's Capital

Twenty-four great minivacations take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city: Tour a chocolate paradise, ride a steam locomotive, and relax at a family resort on the Strasburg and Hershey escape. See Civil War history come to life, pet animals at a zoo park, and dine in a 250-year-old inn on the Antietam National Battlefield, Gettysburg, and Catoctin Mountain escape. Take a ferry ride across Delaware Bay, go on a Victorian house tour in a town famous for its 'painted lady' homes, and stroll the promenade along the beach on the Lewes and Cape May escape. You will find all this as well as detailed route maps; travel directions; destination highlights; activities for morning, afternoon, and evening; information on choice restaurants, picnic sites, lodgings; special events and festivals; shopping; local sources of information.Fitzpatrick, John is the author of 'Quick Escapes Washington, D.C 24 Weekend Getaways from Nation's Capital', published 2003 under ISBN 9780762724741 and ISBN 0762724749.
