What are some fun things to do in the Summer in the Poconos area?|161116

We are headed up to that area the beginning of August with a 4 1/2 yr old and would love suggestions of fun things to do. Reviews of theme parks, museums, Zoos, aquariums, factories, etc are welcome. We would love for this to be a learning experience for her (and us) . Thanks!

Some suggestions are-

The Crayola Factory is a lot of fun for little ones- but it is in Bethlehem about an hour drive from the Poconos--

There is so much to do for kids here in the Poconos but one of our favorites is to go canoeing down the Delaware and camping off the river- we do it every summer!--

I hope you all have a blast in the Poconos!!!!!!!

Kriskez had a great answer. In addition, consider rafting on the Lehigh, I think their called Whitewater Challenge and Pocono whitewater rafting, try googling it. Also Hickory Run State Park offers plenty of hiking (Don_t goto Bushkill Fall, you just pay money to hike, it_s absurd). Also just hike anywhere, have fun. Jim Thorpe is a quaint little town, worth visiting.

Also, for the wife there are outlet stores on I-80 (Tannersville Outlets). Alot of great stores right near Camelback/Camelbeach, check it out.

you could leave the kids with your mom or something, and just go with your spouse then maybe you could have some real fun like skinny dipping....??
:D

Not that this is where you zone but the pass very well!!!!!

Where is the best place in the US to spend a month?|133136

My wife, daughter (18 months old), and I are planning to take a month off this summer to go enjoy ourselves somewhere. We_re not going to fly because of our daughter_s age, so it will have to be in the US or Canada. We_re looking to spend $5000 or so rent for the month. Any suggestions?

There are many nice places in Myrtle Beach, SC for that price. Nice beaches and many other attractions for people of wildly varying tastes and interests.
There are also many nice cottages for rent on the many lakes in Ontario, Canada. The weather is nice, and people are friendly also.

Florida,, good beaches

Does anyone know where me and my honey should go for a romantic weekend gettaway?|159026

Take a look, and see if any suite you!

Charlottesville is a nice area to visit that is not too far from DC. A few years ago we visited there in Nov. and stayed at

We stayed in the Carriage House for a very good rate. Take a look at their promotions. It_s lovely, and the food is great!

You could stay in Washington, VA and stay at one of the inns and have dinner at The Inn at Little Washington. This inn is rated highly

but there are others. It_s beautiful with the mountains and open fields.

Enjoy your weekend!

It_s a beautiful time to drive down to the Smokies. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the scenery is beautiful. You can easily book a honeymoon suite or even a private cabin for way less than $500 per night.

Need more info. Where do you live. How far are you willing to travel. Expensive...or inexpensive.

well, thats where I would go...

Anyone that can help with info on Atlanta Braves spring training?|132069

I_m planning a trip to Orlando and want to go to a Braves Spring training game at Disney_s Wide World of Sports. I have never been to Spring Training in Orlando, and I was wondering if you have to pay to get in Disney World and pay for a ticket at Spring training. Any help is appreciated!

Yes you pay to get in WWoS

Disney_s Wide World of Sports is separate from Disney_s Magic Kingdom or any other park. So I would think you would just go in the main gate then follow the signs to the Wide World of Sports. Have a great time! I_ve been to a Spring Training game before (Reds vs. Brewers) and it was like stepping back into the 1920s, small wooden stadium, dogs that cost a $1, got to pick a seat right along the first base line. Of course Disney_s stadium will probably be swankier, but should still be old-fashioned fun.


What_s up with all the thumbs downs for everyone? : |

It_s really fun to go to one of these games! I have only been once but I really want to go back. You buy a ticket to the game, and that_s all you need. If I am not mistaken, you can buy from the Braves website - that_s how it used to be. I believe I had to pay a little for parking, too. But no admission to Disney is required, as the WWoS complex is separate.

10 point to the first person to tell me how many miles from Davis Oklahoma, to Natchitochela Louisiana?|132739

If if filled my gas tank up in davis, and made it to Natchitochela without re fueling was that a good thing?

386.2 miles it would take 5 hours and 52 minutes!
Hey where_s my 10 points? And yes if you made it that far on 1 tank of gas that is great!

386.2 miles

What is a good place within an hour of Miami florida to have a barbecue on a beach with a boat ramp nearby?|184129

Im looking for a place where I can put my jetski in and have my friends at a gazebo or picnic tables on shore with a grill. Most places ive been to dont let you drive boats up to the beach. I want to give rides so I need to be able to do this. Also i_d prefer a lake but the ocean is fine too. Thanks in advance.

Try Fort Lauderdale
