Bleg: Weekend Trip Ideas
Comments(5)
Hey folks — sorry, I didn’t keep up on my end of the bargain with the 90s vids. I have recently experienced the most violent illness I’ve ever experienced in my life. It was so bad my husb was considering taking me to the hospital in the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning. 90s vids will be back in full force tomorrow.
In the meantime, husb and I are thinking of taking a weekend trip some weekend in November. Ideally, we’d like to be able to leave after work on a Friday, get there and check into a hotel so we can spend all day Sunday and most of Sunday in the destination. But we don’t know where to go! DC is out of the question – hello, we just spent two years living there – as are places we’ve been like New York or Philly or places I was raised to loathe like Cleveland. We’re looking for something under the radar, a place people wouldn’t normally think to visit.
Maybe Detroit? Or Toronto? Any ideas or suggestions, faithful readers?
Hmmm… how about Chattanooga, St. Louis, or Charlotte? If you’re feeling somewhere bigger, maybe Baltimore, Boston, or Chicago.
Driving or flying after work?
You can drive to Indiana in about 7 hours. I went to school in Bloomington, and I love it there. There’s a wiki for B’ton: bloomingpedia.com, I believe.
Louisville, KY is within striking distance. Columbus, OH. Deep Creek, MD (another of my favorites). I always enjoy Baltimore.
If you’re flying, the options are many, many, many.
I vote for Baltimore! I’ve never been there this time of year, but in the summer, I love it.
Btw: not sure how I missed the fact that you’re all married now. Congratulations!!
i’m betting the poconos are pretty right now. Gaitlinberg Tenn holds a pretty special place for me too. glad you are feeling beter. can’t wait to see you and your husb and brother tomorrow. i think there is some macaroni and cheese with your name on it. love mama
I second Baltimore– charming, close by, and there’s a TON to stop and see on your way there and back if you want.
