Top 20 Holiday Destinations (Close to DC!)

Get outta town -- but not too far! These ideas for holiday fun range from the uber-local (Connecticut Avenue) to the road-trip-required (Baltimore, Richmond and more). STARTING WITH... Lights on the Bay offers an eye-popping two-mile scenic drive along the Chesapeake Bay that's -- yes, really -- better with your 3D glasses. You'll also find scavenger hunts, raffles and (on weekends before Christmas) appearances from Santa, all at Sandy Point State Park (1100 East College Parkway, Annapolis, Md.). Nightly through Jan. 1, 5-10 p.m. $14 per car. DISTANCE: 37 miles from downtown D.C.
