5. Andrias White Murdaugh, guest manager & Friday guest co-host

Virginia Wine Trail

Andrias heads west not just for the amazing wine but also the fine dishes from award-winning restaurants, like Palladio Restaurant at Barboursville Vineyards. Andrias says, as you make the trip, just look for the signs marked with grapes and you're bound to find something "beautifully tasty."

6. Stacy Sacra, creative services senior producer

Wallops Island

One of Stacy's favorite things to do is head east to catch a rocket launch. If it's a night launch, Stacy says you can don't have to go far and can often see it from Tappahannock. Stacy says it's worth making the trip and will only cost you gas money.
