We're taking a road trip in august and I need ideas for fun/historic/funny stops.  Where shall I visit and why?  Bonus points for PIPs.

    North, South or Central?

    We have 2-3 weeks to drive so our options are wide open.

    Alaska! It's the most beautiful place I have ever seen...but it would take forever to get there.

    So I vote California

    Edited: Because I cannot read...

    Eastern US....Maine!

    Charleston, SC.

    Food, the beach, shopping, lots of history, and ghost tours.

    If I had a week of vacation I would drink myself through Virginia :) There are a bunch of wineries along I-81, plus Natural Bridge, elephant rides, butterfly exibit, and caverns.

    Dinosaur Land somewhere in VA.
    Or Jekyll Island. DH says it rocks, but I've never been.
    Savannah, GA for the history.
    NYC, NY. Went there once, loved it, really wanna go back.

    Intercourse, PA.  Because I guarantee you won't be able to get out of the town without giggling at the name.  Plus you can get one of the fun bumper stickers and other merchandise that says "I <3 Intercourse (PA)."

    And then you can drive north and visit me.  Wink 

    Why not Blue Ball too in case you don't quite make it to Intercourse Wink

    I like Gettysburg, Amish Country & Philadelphia for any PA stops.

    Also, I'm from the NYC-area, and I guess Manhattan is a must-see if you're driving through. There is a ton of kid-friendly crap in Pennsylvania. Sesame Place, the Please Touch Museum, the Franklin Institute Science Museum (maybe for older kids; I loved that shiit as a girl scout).

    This is probably out of the way, but Lake Placid in upstate NY is one of my favorites. They have all the former Olympic stuff and an awesome town for shopping/drinking/eating. And the Adirondacks are beautiful.

    Also Dinosaur Land is free or very cheap, and kid friendly, and educational.

    Newport, RI

    Martha's Vineyard, MA

    NYC (venture out to the other suburbs for what I consider a truer NYC experience ;)  I'd recommend Brooklyn if you only have time for 1 other suburb.

    One of the many kid friendly attractions in PA - Sesame Place, Hershey Park, Crayola Factory, Dutch Wonderland, Great Wolf Lodge, Strassburg Railroad, Please Touch Museum, Franklin Institute, Longwood Gardens, Morris Arboretum.

    DC/Georgetown

    Ocean City, MD

    Williamsburg, VA

    Orlando/Tampa, FL

    I agree with Acadia National Park. It is absolutely beautiful, especially in the fall. We used to go hiking every October before the boys came along. Ogunquit is also amazing!

    Are we done with this thread? I was actually working at work today so I missed it.

    But if you are going east as far as Maine, mayswell drive the 6-or-so hours and come hang in PEI, Canada. I know I'm biased, but this place is farking GORGEOUS in the summer.

    I guess technically now I should be SecondBabyMomma Lilypie Third Birthday tickers Lilypie First Birthday tickers

    I've always wanted to visit both Maine and PEI! They both look absolutely gorgeous and serene!
