1. You're already there....
rent a cabin at Babcock State Park, go over to the Cranberry Glades and take a hike or camp.

4. most of the places I can suggest would be like...
...bringing coals to Newcastle, unless you want to go as far as the Gulf Coast, or west Texas.

Here's a thought: maybe you could mention what sort of things you two like, and then we could make suggestions that may be in line with those.

6. Martha's Vineyard, Orleans on the Cape
And the Sebego region of Maine leap to mind.

7. How about Canada? Mont Tremblant is good and Montreal is great!

10. Bar Harbor, Maine - Acadia National Park
absolutely spectacular scenery ... very easy mountain climbing with incredible ocean views ... walk along the ocean at the edge of a pine tree covered shoreline ... and eat "lobstah" ...

if you're into camping, try the "Blackwoods" campground which is part of Acadia National Park ... probably a good idea to make reservations if you go after july 4 ...

the only drawback: it's a really long ride from WV ...
