Any ideas for 25th anniversary weekend?


Posted: May 3, 2012

We are taking a week's vacation at the beach with our children and grandchildren in June.  We split the cost of a beach house.  Everyone has a nice place to stay on the beach, much cheaper when cost is divided.

Our 25th anniversary is coming up in October, and my husband and I would like to take a vacation without the kids.  It will only be a 3-4 day stay over a weekend because of limited time off for both of us, and of course limited funds since we will be paying for everything ourselves.  We live in Virginia.  Does anyone have any ideas of something fun we could do this fall to celebrate our 25th?

Shenandoah area? - Love it there

[ In Reply To ..]
Perhaps the Shenandoah National Park area? The views are beautiful. Lodging in the park can be expensive during leaf peeping season, but there are inns and other lodging near the park entrances. I like the Harrisonburg and New Market areas. You can also check out the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club at PATC.net. Check out their cabin rentals. They have very rustic cabins, but they also have modern properties to rent, as well. Their properties are located over quite a range from the Charlottesville area up into Pennsylvania.

Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge - area in TN?

[ In Reply To ..]
Believe it or not, Dollywood is great for adults and kids alike. We only went once but would go again in a heartbeat if we didn't have such a long drive now. Hubby and I used to live in TN and would go picnicking/driving/bike riding in Cades Cove a lot. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have a lot of dining, shopping, sightseeing. Gatlinburg is more scenic, Pigeon Forge has a lot of outlets, as I recall.

The death of Michael Brown or the visibility of the Black Lives Matter movement.

I think he would have made a different decision if he were not racist. IMO, if that had been a white person in the EXACT same situation, he would have lived through the situation. So, I have read lots of opposition to that line of suppo ...

We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, ...
