Since you’re a vet you should be able to get on the Washington Navy Yard. They have a beautiful museum on base that is well worth the time and never crowded. Pack a lunch and eat overlooking the Potomac River.

The Holiday Travel Park in Virginia Beach has super sites that are very nice. The park also has a free parking lot at the ocean front for registered guests. Hard to get a site on a weekend in October though. The park goes crazy with Halloween festivities.

First Landing State Park is beautiful but can be challenging for 35’+ rigs. We’ve stayed there several times and have the scares to show for it. The live oaks are tough.

I like driving up the eastern shore of Virginia/Maryland but make sure you are under 13’-6” high. A friend got turned around at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel because they triggered the over height sensor. Make sure your propane is turned off before you get to the tolls plaza.
