Baltimore or Atlantic City
I'm in Philly right now. DH is here on a business trip and since I had yesterday and today off work, we decided I'd meet him out here for the weekend for a mini-vacation.
Anyway, he should be done with his work by 11ish and since he still has the rental car for today, we are thinking about possibly heading to either Baltimore or Atlantic City to explore for the rest of the day. We'll explore Philly by foot tomorrow.
Any suggestions? Where would you go? The only places I've been on the East Coast are NYC and DC, so both places would be new to me.
Thanks ladies!
Re: Baltimore or Atlantic City
I wanted to go to Atlantic City, but when I suggested it everyone poo poo'd the idea. Some of the feed back I got was that you go to Atlantic City and stay right there, you don't walk 5 feet away because the area isn't the greatest.
How true?
Who knows.
That's not what I see on the Jersey Shore. LOL!
I'd choose B'more. It's been years since I did the tourist thing there but I remember really enjoying it. We went to the aquarium, the science museum and did lots of cultural/history related tours which my family enjoys and hung out on the harbor.
When we went to AC, we only went for a day and mostly we were at the casinos which I'm not that big of a fan. I'm not sure what else there really is to do in AC so maybe someone else has some good suggestions.
I'd go to the Jersey Shore, but not AC. There are tons of cute towns and it's off-season so you could probably get a great rate. One that I've heard a lot about is Cape May which has all these old victorian houses and is really pretty.
AC is sketchy - but if you go and just stay at the resort you're good. Borgata is nice.
Baltimore is......a city. I mean the inner harbor is pretty and they've done a lot to make it nicer but it's also not somewhere I'd want to wander at night.
Thanks for the suggestions.
We already have a hotel booked in Philly for tonight, so this would literally be drive there, explore and eat for a few hours, then head back to Philly tonight.
If AC is just casinos and kinda sketchy, I think I'll pass. I can go to the casino at home - in a not so sketchy area.

A totally different idea - but with less driving. From Philly, head north along the Delaware River. As you get farther from the city, it is a beautiful drive this time of year and quintessential "east coast." You could go to Valley Forge and walk around, Washington's Crossing, and then have dinner in New Hope, which has lots of shops and cute to walk around as well as great restaurants. The highway (95) is also right there to get back to your hotel in Philly after dinner.
