Try to take in some caverns. Luray Caverns are lovely.

Be especially careful on curvy descents if it has rained or drizzled after a long dry period. In those conditions, the roads are slicker 'n goose shit on slate on a dewy morning. Don't ask how I know.
Too bad you aren't going in late September early October. The autumn colours are stunning.
