a good idea

husband just pinged me:

wanna get away for a weekend in july?  just the two of us?

Of course!  (c’mon, who is going to say no to a trip with their man?)
The thing is….we have no idea where to go.

I will be almost 8 month pregnant (meaning drinking/hiking centered trips are out) and we are working with a limited budget (thanks to um, our mortgage, multiplying children and living room furniture we have on order)

but we want to slip away before the baby arrives…
somewhere casual
random, even.

Any thoughts on great 3 day get-aways?

Notes

  1. jrnytofitness said: Galena or Door County for sure. There are such cute B&Bs in both! Or if you want a small adventure Pokagon Park in Indiana has a very lovely, woodsy little lodge to stay in. Cheap, all of the amenities, and friendly Indiana people!
  2. kate-plus-camera said: palm springs!
  3. ivealwaysbeenthirsty said: Some cabin by a lake type thing? Relax, and unwind. Or maybe a beach. If you two go alone you can do a romantic weekend getaway in the city, fancy dinner, take in a show, nice hotel, strawberries dipped in chocolate is always nice…
