But if you crave a little diversity beyond its Smithsonian museums, national monuments and cherry blossom-lined streets, know this: The region also boasts overnight opportunities that emulate adventures you might find thousands of miles away in places such as Napa, Yellowstone or Las Vegas. Only, these opportunities are all within a two-hour drive from the Capital. Take advantage of the\u00a0three major airports (Dulles, Reagan and Baltimore) servicing the\u00a0region, and parlay\u00a0a D.C. visit into a bigger vacation by incorporating\u00a0these destinations\u00a0into your itinerary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/7-awesome-dc-power-lunch-spots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> Spot politicos at these 7 DC power lunch spots<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.

Just across the Potomac River in Maryland\u2019s revitalized National Harbor district, with views of\u00a0the Capitol Building, the Washington Monument and Old Town Alexandria from many of its 308\u00a0rooms, it\u2019s a glam destination unto itself\u2014just like many of the resorts you\u2019d find in Vegas. <em>Unlike<\/em> them, however, this resort has a more sophisticated and subdued vibe, a refreshing\u00a0contrast to\u00a0the often over-the-top revelry\u00a0and sensory overload\u00a0found in Sin City.<\/p>\n<p>Some of this is due to the 125,000-square-foot\u00a0casino residing in a\u00a0separate space, still attached to the hotel but requiring an ID for those 21 and older to enter. So if gambling isn\u2019t your thing, you needn\u2019t walk through aisles and aisles of slot machines and gaming\u00a0tables to get from one place to another. Onsite entertainment abounds beyond the gaming, however.\u00a0The property boasts a full-service spa; a luxury shopping corridor (home to Sarah Jessica Parker&#8217;s first brick-and-mortar store, SJP\u2014a sort of Carrie Bradshaw pilgrimage for &#8220;Sex and the City&#8221; fans); dazzling art installations throughout (Bob Dylan has artwork featured here); and a 3,000-seat theater, an amazingly intimate venue to experience world-class acts such as Cher, Sting and Ricky Martin, who are all slated to perform in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, no need to leave the property when you get hungry: There are 15 dining options, with celebrity chefs such as Jos\u00e9 Andr\u00e9s, Marcus Samuelsson and brothers Bryan and Michael Voltaggio among the owners of upscale restaurants featuring inventive seafood, high-end Southern comfort food and steakhouse cuisine, respectively. Given all of these diversions under one roof, this\u00a0dynamic resort is\u00a0worth settling\u00a0into, and staying for at least a night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/take-the-quiz-how-well-do-you-know-your-national-parks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> Take the quiz: How well do you know your National Parks?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.

It boasts more than 500 miles of epic trails that wind through cascading waterfalls, old farmsteads, cool caverns, spectacular vistas and serene forests. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Shenandoah-National-Park-Hotels.d6025893.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">northern entrance to the park<\/a> (Front Royal) is closest to D.C., and from there you aren\u2019t far from one of the park\u2019s most beloved\u00a0hikes, the Dickey Ridge Loop.<\/p>\n<p>To maximize your sightseeing if you\u2019re short on time, cruise the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitskylinedrive.org\/Home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skyline Drive<\/a>. It runs 105 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, slicing through the entire park and offering 75 overlooks along the way. It\u2019s a breathtaking drive any time of year, but particularly in autumn, when foliage explodes in hues of red, orange and gold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/rewards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ALSO<\/strong>: Are you the only one not getting kickbacks in DC?

It\u2019s a vision realized nearly 250 years after Thomas Jefferson attempted (without much success) to plant vineyards to emulate the great wine regions of the Old World. Today, more than half of Virginia\u2019s vineyard acres grow within this region. Vineyards such as Barboursville, Keswick\u00a0and Blenheim (owned by Dave Matthews) welcome day trippers with wine tastings and tours. Our new president even has\u00a0a wine-themed resort here: Trump Winery.<\/p>\n<p>Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Monticello Wine Trail is sprinkled with country homes, restored barns and spectacular settings for picnics.
