Weekend getaway?

Hi girls! You are always such a big help so I figured you could definitely give me some ideas on this one...

My husband just let me know that he wants to take me somewhere for a weekend to celebrate my 25th birthday in April. We would probably rather go somewhere we can drive to... any suggestions? I'm open to any/all possibilities! Thanks!!

Re: Weekend getaway?

  • our anniversary is 2 days after my birthday so we spent the weekend in Chicago to celebrate both occassions last year in April and it was a blast! I would love to make it an annual trip.

    6/28/10: Lost our sweet baby Addyston at 18wk 1day to pPROM 7/24/11: Michael William born at 24wk 2d due to IC after an emergent cerclage at 18wks, 4wk home BR and 2 weeks hospital BR. Grow strong our little Miracle! 9/17/11: Michael joined his sister in heaven after 8 amazing weeks with us on earth. He fought a very hard fight but NEC was too much for him in the end.

  • Hocking Hills is near Columbus, not too far like 2 1/2 hrs from Cincy.  They have nice cabins you can rent...

  • 21C hotel lousiville. For a super fun dinner 732 Social. really nice dinner 510 Magnolia....i love glassworks. 
  • Last year we went to Madison, Indiana for a weekend and stayed at the Iron Gate Inn, our room was $140 per night. It was the nicest room they had, and the other rooms weren't nearly as nice. It's close and an easy drive. There is a cute downtown area and lots of wineries around if you are into wine.

    You could also check out: Gatlinburg, Hocking Hills, Chicago,  Indianapolis, Lexington, and there are lots of cute little towns within 2 hours.

  • We just went to Hocking Hills a couple weekends ago and had a great time! I found that there were tons of cabins available and I booked on Friday for a Saturday night. Most of the cabins require a 2 night stay but since I booked so late they allowed a one night stay and I also got some last minute deals. There is a last minute deals website on the hocking hills homepage that shows the discount rate for some of the cabins if you book within the week before.

  • The W Lakeshore in Chicago! It's our favorite weekend getaway. Of course you can explore the city, shop, eat, but you don't even have to leave the hotel there's so much to do. 

    We are also fans of Red River Gorge for a cabin weekend. Red River Gorgeous cabins are a great, inexpensive trip. 

  • Don't know if this is enough adventure for you, but the deal on 96 rock this morning was one night at Belterra plus a $100 credit (that can be used at Jeff Rubys), for $90.  It's only good during the week, but I thought it sounded like a great mini getaway. 
  • I have not been, but I hear the midway, KY is a nice quaint place to visit...you could also do the bourbon trail and stay in bardstown or something like that. 
  • Chicago or Gatlinburg are 2 drive-to locations that we went to, and loved both for different reasons. We stayed outside of the city in Chicago; and in Gatlinburg rented a cabin in the mountains.

    Depends on if you are more of a city or country person. Smile
