Any must-see places? 

We're thinking of going to Wheeling to a Train/Toy Museum and going ice skating at the park. 

Thanks in advance, ladies! :-)

Well I don't know what way you're going.. But if you happen to go through Beckley, stop at Tamarack! They're food is priced like a chili's or a restraint like that, so it's not something like McDonald's. They have food that's popular here in WV & they have all sorts of arts & crafts that are made here too. The artists actually work in the building, so you usually get to see them. I highly recommend this place, and I used to work there, so if you have any questions, just ask! They're websit is tamarackwv.com :)

I haven't visited the train-toy museum in years since I was a kid. So, I really don't remember a lot about it. But if you are going to be in Wheeling, you shold stop by Olebay. They have a lights display, lodge, etc. And FIY the ice rink is an indoor one, just in case you were picturing a romantic night under the stars.

If you visit Southern West Virginia, drive over the New River Gorge bridge and stop at the overlook and visitor's center, too. If you're staying in mostly northern WV, I don't have any suggestions other than to have fun!
