I know how you feel...I'm going on a 3 week vacation in December and coming back is going to make me want to shoot everyone twice in the chest and then once in the forehead.
I went up the Blue Ridge Parkway, stayed in NC for a couple days in the mountains. Then finished up parkway and went up Skyline Drive to VA. Chilled in the DC area for about a week. I love DC but I absolutely hate the traffic, air quality, and all of those foreigners who are assholes just because they don't understand the English language.
