Default Cape May to the Chesapeake

Last summer we took a 100 mile cruise from Shark River (Belmar), NJ to Cape
May, NJ. We docked at the Canyon Club Resort & Marina for a few days - Nice
place - we like the idea of having a pool at our disposal. This summer my
12 y/o daughter and 15 y/o son will be joining us. Last summer we checked
out the dolphins that were just off the lighthouse and took a ride through
the canal - from the NJ Ferry docks back to the Atlantic side. We ended up
spending a fair amount of time exploring Cape May on foot for a few days.

I'm curious if anyone can give me any other places in the area to go. I'm
considering heading north and through the C&D Canal into the Chesapeake -
however, since I haven't yet purchased the charts, I don't know how far or
how long it would take from Cape May (we've got a 32 foot powerboat).

Since we're only going to allow 4-5 days for the whole trip, I'm not sure
how far into the Chesapeake we should venture. I'd appreciate any
suggestions for places to cruise to that would allow us to be back to Cape
May early on day 4 or 5 - it's a 5 hour cruise up the coast back to
Belmar...

TIA,
