If you were going to get away for the weekend

Within a fairly reasonable distance from the cities (2 hours max), where would you go?

DH is offering to take me somewhere for my birthday, but I'm not sure where to go. It would just be for one night, maybe 2. It's my first time being away from the girls overnight since they came home from the hospital, so I have no interest in being really far away from home.  But we need to get out and do something just for us.

This would be in late October. Suggestions?

Re: If you were going to get away for the weekend

  • Duluth might be an option....there's lots to do up there.  

    You might be able to catch some fall colors down by LaCrosse or Winona.  LaCrosse has a pretty fun Oktoberfest, but it can get a little crazy.

    See if one of the casinos has a fun concert or something where you could go & then stay in the hotel (Grand Casino - Hinkley or Mille Lacs, Treasure Island, Mystic Lake)

    Bayfield, WI has a fun Applefest in October, however, it's about 3.5 hours away. There are lots of B&Bs up there and cute little shoppes.

  • We are going down to Lanesboro for our anniversary in Sept. It looks like a GREAT place. It might be further for you, but it's about 2 hours for us.

  • Stillwater or Hudson area at a B&B if 2 hours is the limit. DH and I did that for our 1st anniversary and had a great time just being down by the water, seeing cute shops, getting coffee, had a great breakfast at San Pedro Cafe, etc etc.

  • We went for a night in Afton at the Afton House Inn a few weeks ago. That was a lot of fun and very nice. Cala Lily Spa was great and it's only a block from the Inn.

  • I had rec'ed the St. James Hotel in Red Wing to mrsadamswife so I'll rec it again!  :-)  We stayed in a historic suite with a whirlpool tub and it was awesome!!  It was so nice and relaxing to cozy up in comfy chairs in Jimmy's Pub and have some drinks and talk.  Love love loved it.  We also got massages at the adjoining spa.  Breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the river was awesome too.

    Two thumbs up!!
