DH and I just realized we are both off, unexpectedly, for 3 days...that SAME 3 days. Amazing. This has not happened in a really long time. So, what are we to do? Work on the house? NO!!! Get caught up on real life stuff, erranding, etc.? NO!!!
We need to get away, DH, Little Sir and I, someplace where we can just BE, relax, have fun, enjoy each other, have no responsibilities or stresses, no work-related issues, someplace a little warmer than here, but not too far to drive.
DH is thinking Delaware, but neither of us has really been there. I've driven through on my way to D.C., but not stayed there, ever. Never even eaten a meal there, I don't think. Been doing a little net surfing, and so far have only come up with the Great Delaware Kite Festival, which sounds interesting.
So, dear Blogworld...does anyone have any ideas? Someplace good for a 5-year-old, too? Not too pricey, not too fancy. Please respond.

Never been to Delaware, but we like to go to Lancaster PA. There is a lot of things to do and you can go to various places within an hour drive and it is not too far, about 4 hrs from here. I don't know if Dutch Wonderland is open yet, but they have trains, horse & buggy rides and nice scenery.
Enjoy and have fun with wherever you go!
Thanks. I have absolutely done Lancaster to death. It's great, but we overdid it with kids #1 & 2...no desire to go back again.
I like Va., but it's a bit farther than I want to go. And I'm not sure DC is right for Little Sir yet...altho' he was awfully interested in all things Obama, since his school awareness with the election.
Sigh. I'll keep searching. Think quiet, peaceful, destressing, enough to occupy a little one...
Delaware? Nothing comes to mind.
What about Mystic, CT? There is the aquarium, Old Mistick Village, Mystic Seaport, Dinosaur StatePark, a Carousel Museum, The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center... Providence, RI is within a nice driving distance.
Take the ferry from Orient and you are there! Howard Johnson's had an indoor pool :)
