We're going to be on the coast of California on the weekend of 4th Nov and have to be in Washington DC on the following Friday and NYC on Sunday.
We like nature, have seen most cities that need to be seen in the US (eg LV) and would love to avoid huge distances in principle.
It kind of makes sense to stay where it's warm before taking a plane straight to Washington DC but would live to hear some ideas of what to do during the week inbetween.
Many thanks
