That said, I'd recommend a Cherokee 140. Not sexy, not fast, but with a
moderate loading like that (2 x 180 + 100), you're still 100 lbs under gross with 5-6
hours of fuel on board. They're IFR-able too.

Exactly. The "me/my wife/our 35 lb dog" is the exact configuration I fly
my 140 with. It's economical and it can be left outside without too many
problems (I recommend a canvas cabin cover). I was under the DC ADIZ, and
all the wonderful free airspace that existed before the DC ADIZ for 15
years, before moving my plane to a hangar in Ocean City 2 years ago.
