We live in S. FL and want to escape the summer heat. We love history and would like to find somewhere to book by the month (cheaper that way) and sight-see out from there. We don’t mind a motel night out if the sight-seeing takes us a bit far too.
A few years ago we loved our summer near Williamsburg, VA. There was so much to see from there.... and a weekend trip to DC to boot.
We were thinking this summer to head to somewhere near Gettysburg or Lancaster and Amish country with a trip by car to Philadelphia one weekend.
So.... Where would be the best places to stay for a month in that area and what things to see, etc.
And is this the best plan? Is there somewhere else we should be looking at?
Having lived and traveled all through the East Coast I'd Suggest either closer - Lake Toxaway/Cashiers area (RT 64 in the mountains, cooler) biggest issue is you might just need to get a place here every summer, it's that nice!
Rehoboth Beach area, water - good food - beach - we still get everyone together there for two weeks for the last 40 years.
Upstate NY, Finger Lakes - or up by Lake Placid - just a beautifully amazing area, with lots of History and great people.
Summer in the rest of the East is just Hot and Muggy - that's why we love Colorado.
JMHO,
