Moving south you have Washington DC which is, of course, the capital of the United States. DC has tons of museums and historic government landmarks, and is best visited in late March and early April for cherry blossom season. An hour or two outside of the Beltway area you have Shenandoah National Park, known for its black bears, Skyline Drive, and the Appalachian Trail. Last summer I stayed at the rustic Big Meadows Lodge inside the park and really enjoyed it.
