Our getaway: Shepherdstown, West Virginia

Shepherdstown is about an hour-hour and a half outside of Metro DC. We love this little college town-artists colony that sits on the banks of the upper Potomac. It's quirky, fun and very friendly and has several outstanding restaurants including the Blue Moon Cafe, (Built in a former gas station) Shaharazade’s Exotic Tea Room (Which holds a slam poetry session on Sundays) and the Press Room (Or course) The sits across the river from Antietam battle field. Try it, you'll love.
