We gotta get out of here during the holiday season. Someplace fun, someplace festive, someplace baby-friendly. I'm thinking Boston or Newport. Work is so busy and there is just so much to do at home that our weekends just seem to by flying by. I tried to convince my hubby that we should go to London for a long weekend (um hello spectacular Wyndham Grand London Chelsea Harbour!) but he wants to put that off until the spring so in the meantime, we need a road-trip for sure!
I'm leaning towards Newport because over the holiday season, there is a ton to do that will be fun for all of us - the mansions that you can tour are all decorated for Christmas, there is a dinner train that is based on the movie The Polar Express (which totally makes me cry at the end) and we love Newport - in any season. Best part is, you can get great deals on Wyndham resort properties during the off-season that are always packed during the spring and summer months. They are actually timeshare resorts that have openings so they are really awesome - I'm talking movie theater on-site, right on the water, indoor sauna and pool... and of course, I'm totally into the saving money part due to said baby! Plus, easier on the wallet means easier to convince my husband that we need the mini-vacation! I think that we're due. We've all had a busy fall ... and the baby DOES love swimming.
Boston would be fun too... Maybe we can save that for another weekend. I am totally open to suggestions though so if you have any good ones, please email them to me! Places in the Northeast for this trip - things to do, places to see.
