can i get some vacation ideas? |
|
i never, ever, go on vacation; truth be toLd, i hate going away at aLL. but, i'm going to go on one in september.
now i just need to pick a destination, that wouLd actuaLLy be fun for us.
some ideas mrs. sniffa and i kicked around in the Last 30 minutes incLude:
montreaL - Love it, but we don't know french, and have onLy gone with others who knew their way around.
provincetown - i think i've been there too much. i aLso hate the beach.
northampton - ah, it's been so Long. i know the area Like the back of my hand, so i know we'LL have pLenty to do. aLso, there's a Loved one out that way.
vermont - why not? go appLe picking, and Look at green mountains. maybe find some vermont grown nugs.
phiLLy - i Love sight seeing historicaL pLaces. i may even get a steak n cheese.
pLease give us any advice, tips, etc... choose from the List or suggest your own (wiLL be much appreciated). :D
oh, and we have to be abLe drive there - hence the northeast region.
:bounce:

53. No, go to Tennessee because of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge |
|
Lots to do there, plus great shopping in Pigeon Forge at all the outlets. And the scenery is gorgeous. And you can hope over to Cherokee in North Carolina for the gambling.

or cape may
fun area, dolphins, ospreys, i guess if you hate the beach you can spend all your time in the casinos but what's wrong with a whale watch boat trip
you don't have to know the language to visit a place, get a french phrase book and see montreal if you want, i did this for paris

Just ouside of Philly you have Valley Forge, and the Audobon Center at MillGrove, the first home of naturalist John Audubon. Down in nearby Delaware there is the amazing Winterthur museum, and Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square. Come on a weekend and we will take you to polo.

I don't really have any advise for you, but I can tell you where I'd go if I could. I'd drive out to Cooperstown and spend a day at the Baseball Hall of Fame, and then continue out to Cedar Point, OH for a day of rollercoasters.
