Answer 1

One really nice place is Annapolis, Maryland's historic waterfront state capitol.
Here's a good website that lists things to do in Annapolis.

Besides what's listed there, walking in the old part of Annapolis near the harbor is fun because the houses are lovely and there are lots of quaint little shops.
There are also some wonderful bed and breakfasts that make for a fun possibly romantic weekend. Here're 2 sites that list them and show pictures.http://www.lanierbb.com/annapolis-maryland-bed-breakfast.html
This one has an interactive map to show pictures and information about the inns http://www.annapolisbandb.com/locatormap.html

Great East Coast getaway destinations


The East Coast of the United States is packed full of wonderful weekend destinations. So when you and your significant other have a little extra time on your hands, why not jet off for a weekend getaway filled with regional foods, history, culture and more? It’s all readily available at a number of Eastern hot spots — a few of our favorites are highlighted below. And to those fortunate enough to live within driving distance, get the most of your money by hitting the road to reach your weekend getaway!

Cape Cod, Massachusetts
You could easily turn this jaunt into a week’s vacation, but since you’ve only got a few days, I might suggest you pick two or three townships to explore. Sandwich has beautiful coastlines and is Cape Cod’s oldest and most picturesque township. The island is full of bike shops, so jump on and peddle the day away. Be sure to stop at one of the many “seafood shacks” for delicious not-to-miss local faire.

Atlantic City, New Jersey
Be sure to bring a stash of cash when heading to Atlantic City! You and your date can gamble the night away at one of the 13 casinos found here, or take in a world-class headline entertainer. Be sure to leave time to walk the four-mile boardwalk filled with shops, restaurants and amusement rides. And for those of you who are a fan of Monopoly, take a bus tour to see the streets that made Monopoly famous.

Washington, D.C.
If you like history and a great nightlife, this is the city for you. When traveling to Washington be sure to book a hotel on the Metro line so you can get around the town by subway — it’s inexpensive, clean and safe. The Smithsonian museums are full of intriguing exhibits — there’s American history, space, natural history, and a portrait gallery to name a few. And when you’re done browsing the museums, head to Georgetown for great restaurants and a wild nightlife.

Outer Banks, North Carolina
To get away from your daily grind, head to the relaxing shores of Outer Banks, North Carolina. This 100-mile long island boasts some of the best East Coast fishing, so sign up for a charter and cast your lines for a fishing adventure. And for the daring, take in a hang gliding lesson at Jockey’s Ridge, a 140-foot natural sand dune. Just down the road, visit Kill Devil Hill — home of the famous Wright Brothers inaugural flight. And of course, enjoy the beautiful beaches and shorelines.
