What are some nice places to visit in Virginia to Pennsylvania area?|127858

I want to plan a trip for 2-3 days and i live in philly. So, preferably withing 4-5 hrs of driving distance of it. I like nature and water [beaches would be out of choice at this time though :( ]
Thanks in advance. -aaveg.

I don_t know about this time of the year, but Lancaster and Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania are really nice.I go down in August every year. I love it. I like to drive around and stop at all the little Amish farm stands to see what they have.
Or Washington, D.C., but not that much nature.
