Whether you prefer the excitement of city life, picturesque main streets of a small town, or quiet mountain serenity, there is a place in West Virginia just for you.
The state is divided into nine regions, each of which has something unique to offer. Best known for its scenic beauty, the Mountain State offers numerous opportunities for outdoor recreation. In addition, you'll find small towns with warmth and charm.
If you prefer something more fast-paced, the state's cities offer a variety of daytime activities as well as an exciting night life.
There are literally dozens of wonderful little towns in West Virginia. Privately-owned shops, unique attractions and small-town warmth permeate the state. Visitors can take a quick weekend jaunt or a week-long adventure, away from the big city and feel truly refreshed by the clean air, warm greetings and slower pace offered by these "gems."
Many visitors to West Virginia turn into residents once they realize how close some of these towns are to major cities. For example, Shepherdstown is only about eighty miles from both Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

There are a couple of things to keep in mind about Toronto.
One is the weather. While Toronto has a pretty mild climate
for a Canadian city, and it does experience four distinct
seasons, its winters can be a bit harsh. You can expect
snowfall from November through mid-April. Second, Toronto is
expensive. It's often rated as the most expensive city in
Canada in which to live. So while there's plenty for your
family to do in Toronto, you'll need to pay attention to
the weather and to your budget.
