About Where should we travel to

Where should we travel to?
My sister, our friend and I plan to go on a road trip this summer and I need some ideas on where we should go. We live in Chesapeake,Virginia and we want to go out of state but cool places in VA are welcomed ideas too. So if you know of nice places that have cool things to do or great things to see I would love to hear about them. Also we are very diverse you can throw us in the city or in the country and we'd be happy and a few things we're into are music,art,history,plays,nature,and shopping, so feel free to share any ideas you have. Thanks a bunch!

Answer 2 :
State parks are always the best way to go...campgrounds like KOA are pretty lame. I haven't lived in Va. for about 10 years but there is a ton of stuff around you. Just figure out where you want to go a lake, the mountains and then search the area you will find soem great camping. I recomend the Blue Ridge Parkway!
Answer 3 :
Go to campingnc.com - it is a great site with lots of choices for you, whether looking to camp in the NC mountains, piedmont or beach.

Yes the C&D canal is easily usable to transit the Chesapeake Bay to Delaware Bay, and on to Cape May. It's open to both commercial and recreational traffic, and there are no locks or other obstructions to worry about.
