There’s a big world to see, just hours from here. Washington,
D.C., North Carolina’s Outer Banks and a world of American history
are all within driving distance and well worth the trip. Or head
south to the Outer Banks for more sun and sand, and stops
such as the Kitty Hawk site where the Wright Brothers flew
