Oh helpful PSers, DH and I are in need of suggestions!
We were originally planning to spend our first anniversary at a B&B on Mackinac Island, MI, along with a few days in Traverse City. While we would still love to visit, the prospect of spending 4 out of our 9 days of vacation in the car is making me go
.
Because we're planning on buying a house this year, we intend to keep to a reasonable budget but would like to take a week-long trip. Something within a 1-day drive (up to 10 hours in-car is fine), train ride, or short-ish (8 hours max on-plane time) flight from DC. We're looking mostly for relaxation, with some stuff to do...we both enjoy the outdoors (light hiking, for example, but NOT camping
), eco-tourism, sight-seeing, and FOOD (must.have.good.food.), and we don't mind high temps if the humidity isn't awful. DH dislikes crowds...so off-the-beaten-path suggestions or places that may be slightly off-season are welcome!
We booked our honeymoon based off the suggestions of a PSer, so hopefully we have the same luck with our anniversary!
