Fun Family Get-Aways on the East Coast?

in Success after IF
We're getting a little bit more than expected back from our taxes (yay!).  While most will go to bills, I'd like to sock some away for a mini vacay this summer (we haven't been on vacation since our honeymoon).  Something drive-able, VERY family-friendly (duh), and not overly expensive (so, not Disney, lol).  The girls will be 2 1/2 and 1.  Any suggestions?  We are about 45 minutes south of Boston, to give you a sense of our location....  Thanks!

    Cape May/Wildwood NJ?

    Yes, it's the Jersey shore but it's not like on tv lol. I love Cape May so pretty, and Wildwood has the boardwalk for the kids. 

    Hershey is fun too!  Both would be about 6hrs though which is longer then I would want to be in the car with 3 kids uder 2 Smile

    The coast of Maine is always fun, but isn't always cheap to stay at.

    Our favorite family vacation was hilton head. Check out private condos, you can find a deal. You can spend as much(or little) as you want. We researched alot online and found several inexpensive things to do with small kids. Example-petting farm, shorter dolphin ride, beach of course. Eating out is pricey- a kids meal at a basic diner was over 7 bucks, so we ate in for most meals.

    Have you thought about North Conway, NH and Santa's Village plus Story Land? Lot's to do in the area that is family friendly.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

    Not sure how far you want to drive but the Jersey Shore area, Long Beach Island, Point Pleasant, Ocean City, Wildwood, and Cape May are great for families.

    You can rent a house for a week at any of those location. If you want to check that out, let me know I can send you some links to places we have rented from (realtors and private ones)

    I would say out of all those Long Beach Island is my favorite. Ava would love Fanasty Island!

    I would say Cape Cod, but I can't think of a lot of specifically child-oriented things to do on the Cape.  It is just a great get-away, and not much of a drive from RI!

    I agree w/ this!  I'm spoiled, b/c DH's family has a summer home on the Cape, so we don't have to worry about lodging. But if you could rent a place for a decent price, simply being on or close to the beach is divine...and there are certainly things to do w/ kids, though we have yet to take advantage b/c Cal was only 19 months when we were there last, so didn't require much outside entertainment, you know?

    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
    LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!

    We LOVE the cape...are planning on going (we are driving up from Fla for the month of July). We usually stay in Chatham or Harwich..I would aso suggest Goose Rocks Beach,ME. Which is right outside of Kennybunkport/Biddiford area. So not that far for a weekend trip. From Boston it's about 2 hours w/o traffic at the Hampton Tolls! Anyway, it's were I used to summer when I was a kid. The water is freezing but the beach there is lovely and the whole place is super Kid friendly..
