I just checked with a co-worker who has a house in Richmond. He says it's a 2 hour drive from here without traffic. So theoretically I could do a day-trip or two, but it would be a long day.

Unfortunatley it looks like hotels only take reservations one year in advance. Already checked into it.

Richmond is only about 100 miles from DC. Sometimes, however, it can take 2 hours to get to Springfield on 95. The train is usually a better option timewise, but the Staples Mill station is out in stripmall land and the Main Street station downtown is not well served by many trains. That is expected to change in the next few years with better Amtrak service to the Main Street station.
