Fall
After a brief hiatus (summer vacay in Kenya), DC on a Dime is back and ready to assist. The dog days of summer are getting ever shorter, and fall is on its way in. The Washingtonian has amassed a list of 36 easy getaways from the DC metro area for the fall, and DC on a Dime recommends a few modifications for the cost conscious.
1.) Try to book your stay after Labor Day weekend. Accomodation and activity prices usually fall after the high summer season.
2.) Limit your stay to one night. If you arrive early Saturday morning and depart Sunday evening you can still have time to enjoy the activities offered in the area.
3.) Call ahead. In the throws of a the recession, clientele strapped businesses are more willing to wheel and deal. Take a chance and call ahead to see what you can negotiate. You might get lucky.
