Vacation suggestions please

nealbl · March 2014

For my 30th bday in October we are going to take a long weekend trip no kids. First time ever doing this without kids! Anyway I want to stay in the Midwest area since it is just a long weekend 4 days maybe 5. Any suggestions? I want to be able to go out have drinks not go crazy party at night and then do fun exploring or something during the day.

Chicago? It'd be a longish drive. But do able. Good shopping, good museums, good food.

Door county? Wine tasting - cute little bars on the coast - nice drives.

Memphis? Nashville? Great food, great bars, live music? *Never been to either, but I have heard great things*

I thought of 2 more museums too. The jazz museum and the negro league baseball museam. i got a hug from buck O'Neal himself when I visited. When he was alive.

And barbecue barbecue barbecue. And jazz.

Honestly the only thing I really don't like about our city is the lack of public transportation. I think if we invested in that we could become a "real" city

We were in KC for brothers wedding but didn't get to really explore. The rehearsal was at jack stack BBQ amazing but I have been wanting to get back there!

Would love to fly somewhere tropical but DH is deathly afraid to fly and won't do it!

Even St. Louis has some fun historical stuff going for it. And Six Flags. The Arch is pretty cool to go up in, too.

I'm an stl girl!

I live in KC as well. @navy&violet covered the sites. I haven't been there, but Chateau Avalon is a romantic hotel to stay at -- and it's by a lot of shopping, dining and sports. DH and I may do a baby-free night there soon.

Getting out of KC, DH and I baby mooned in Eureka Springs, Ark. Easy drive, lots of great restaurants, site seeing. I really enjoyed it.

Enjoy your trip!

I think you should go to KC and stop at all the cheesy Route 66 tourist spots along the way! Haven't you always wanted to see the world's largest rocking chair?? Before babies, dh and I spent two weeks driving out west via rt 66 and it was so much fun!

We did a tour de kansas when dh and i were in our grad schools. And amongst other things we got to see the largest ball of twine. It was a fun weekend.
