fairfarmhand Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We have a big anniversary coming up. I'd love to do some traveling and get away with the hubby for 3-4 days without the kids. I can't figure out what to plan. Ive struggled with this quite a bit over the years. I'm a homebody, but stay home will not be what I have in mind. On the farm, staying home means we'll WORK. So what's fun? In the past we've done hiking and state parks. I LOVE New Orleans, but my dh is kind of MEH on that idea. Charleston sounds appealing, if only because I love old cities and old buildings. What would you plan for a big anniversary? International travel is out. I can't leave the farm or kids for that long. What's fun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Where are you located? Or the nearest airport? Budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) We' could fly out of Nashville. We're in Middle TN Also, budget's not a huge concern. I just need a place to get started.

zoobie Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I love New Orleans too. You can fly right into there (and get around without a car) whereas you'd have to rent a car for Charleston. San Francisco or San Diego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Where are you traveling from? Flying or driving? Either, if it's a cheap flight. What kinds of things are you guys looking to do? I have no idea!!!! Or rather...what DON'T you want to do? What I don't want to do. CAMP! Shop, at least at malls and shopping centers. In interesting shops, I can do a little of that. I prefer to avoid amusement parks, and touristy stuff where there's huge crowds. Things we like: Museums Walking in small towns. Picnics The outdoors.

happypamama Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I would opt for the Outer Banks myself. We spent our honeymoon there and have returned a few other times but haven't been in over a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Mackinaw City Michigan is fun and unique. No cars allowed on the island so it is all walking, biking, or horses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Mackinaw City Michigan is fun and unique. No cars allowed on the island so it is all walking, biking, or horses. You could fly into Grand Rapids MI. Rent a car and drive up along the Lakeshore. Sleeping Bear dunes is awesome, esp if you haven't done the great lakes before. The. Spend 2 nights on the island and drive back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meena Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Oregon coast (Tillamook to Astoria) is one of my happy places. I'd be glad to share it with you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Monterey Bay, California--lots of nice walking paths, not too touristy, probably some bookshops, nice picnicking spots, bikes to rent, whale watching, small shops and restaurants Chicago has nice museums, but obviously not a small town vibe. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Kennebunkport, Maine is magical. Lake Tahoe is gorgeous, one of the most beautiful places in the country. No bookstores, though. You have to bring your own. Kauai has hiking as well as beaches. Bora Bora is my favorite place I have ever been, but it's too far for a short trip.
