Looks like a fun trip! I grew up in New Jersey, but haven't really spent a lot of time in Virginia/W. Virginia/Maryland. I would definitely love to explore that area a little bit more. There's so much history not that far from our own backyard, but sometimes it just takes a little nudge to get out and explore!
Yes, I'm sure you have nuggets of history right where you. The Virginias and Maryland have a lot of history because that's where much of American history was made. Beautiful area.
