I am looking for a place to spend a weekend that is within a 1 hr or so train/bus trip from Washington DC. I'm at a work convention during the week in DC and want to take a short weekend trip outside the city before leaving for home. By the water with shopping and sight-seeing would fit the bill. It's the last weekend in October. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
