Nice reference book for weekend travelers at DC

Washington DC itself and adjacent states have indefinite access to rich cultural heritage and diversified natural wonders, including numerous Civil War sites such as Gettysburg and Richmond, early British settlement at Williamsburg and Jamestown, Fall colors at Shenandoah Valley and Thomas Jefferson's residence, Coastal experience of Annapolis and Ocean City, Mountains and rafting at West Virginia New River Gorge, Amish communities in Pennsylvania. I have lived at DC area for 4 years, and been to a number of sites provided in the book, but I still bought the book for the guide to where I have not been to and a reference to where I might have missed. The book plans mostly two or three-day trips from Washington DC, perfect for weekend getaways or short vacations.
