we took one of our favorite East-Coast weekend trips to date: Philadelphia, New York City (for Farm Aid), and the Delaware Water Gap. While Farm Aid didn't pan out quite how we'd expected (though we had a great time), and NYC for its own sake isn't something we're aching to do again anytime soon, we are hoping to take one more trip out toward Philadelphia and the Delaware Water Gap before we leave. We've actually started a list of things to do before we leave the area, since that time now appears to be two years or less. Here's the rest of it so far:
In & around DC:
The National Geographic Museum
The Sewall-Belmont Museum
Spend another weekend in Berkeley Springs
The National Harbor
The National Aquarium in Baltimore
Explore some of the islands in the Chesapeake Bay area
The East Coast more generally:
Boston
Maine
Amish country in Pennsylvania
And I'm sure the list will grow longer with time. On the whole, though, we're super happy with the experiences and opportunities we've taken advantage of so far. The nice thing about moving to a place like DC from a place like the midwest is that we came into it very aware of and grateful for all there is to do here. I don't know of many locals who have ranged as far into the mountains or toward the ocean as we have, or who have taken the time to go see the military bands play, or made a point to explore all the state and national parks within a couple days' driving distance. There's a ton we'll miss when we move back to the midwest, but I don't think we'll leave with any regrets.
