This Summer Might Not Look Like the Previous Ones, but That Doesn’t Mean That You Can’t Make Some Unforgettable Memories.
While traveling overseas is temporarily out of the question, you can still enjoy a summer getaway by going on an old-fashioned road trip. We’ve pulled together four day trips from D.C. that you and your family or friends can take this summer. So grab some snacks, turn on the playlist, and let’s hit the road. (Don’t forget to be safe and follow COVID-19 precautions when you do!)

Spend a Day Exploring Charlottesville
Located only hours from D.C., Charlottesville is a quaint and charming town that is perfect for a day trip. Here, you can spend the day shopping at the Downtown Mall, learn history at the
Virginia Discovery Museum, or stop by and admire
The Rotunda—an iconic building designed by Thomas Jefferson. If you’re going on an adult-only trip, you might want to check out the acclaimed
Barboursville Vineyards and spend a relaxing day wine tasting.

Hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Located in Virginia,
Roanoke Valley is an idyllic place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With the ease and convenience of Amtrak or Blue Ridge Parkway (an especially scenic option), you can hike and explore some inspiring views along the Appalachian Trail. After your excursion, be sure to grab a delicious scoop of ice cream at
Pop’s Ice Cream and Soda Bar—a sweet way to end the day.

Enjoy a Day Seaside in Maryland

St. Micahel’s, Maryland. This quintessential town is loved by both residents and visitors, and it’s not hard to understand why. With water activities, mouthwateringly fresh seafood, and stunning sunset views at
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, a day spent here won’t disappoint.
