Last Piece in the Jigsaw

Hi All

Thanks for all the help you have given us so far planning this trip 鈥?it has been so helpful 鈥?we are nearly there now. For those that have been following we had planned to spend the first 10 days to 2 weeks driving around New England in the Fall (1st 3 weeks in October) and then the last week in Virginia driving the Skyline Drive. So we booked our flight into Boston and out of Washington.

However, after a lot of prompting from trip advisors we have decided to cut out the Skyline Drive and concentrate on New England.

However, this does mean that we still have to get to Washington DC to fly home. Our last stop in New England looks like it is going to be Northampton MA. We had always planned to spend two or three days in Washington but now we need to find a two or three day stop between Northampton MA and Washington DC.

I don鈥檛 want the holiday to fizzle out after New England and so it would be really nice to find somewhere on our way back to Washington that would give us that last wow before we reluctantly drag ourselves back home.

Has anyone got any suggestions of somewhere we could stop over for two or three days that would have something special for us to see 鈥?we plan on coming back to see New York at a later date and I think we have already planned in enough big cities 鈥?ideally it would be something quaint of alternatively something awesome or grand 鈥?maybe a different.

Any ideas

Thanks again

Ray
