Day Trips

[bobquasit]

When I was a kid my parents often took us on day trips and weekend trips, particularly in summer. I want to do the same thing for Sebastian, of course. So I'm trying to come up with lists of trips to take and fun things to do in the New England area - near and far.

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

I loved the Boston Aquarium. What else.. Plymouth Plantation restoration, the Ocean Spray factory, the Mayflower.. all that historical stuff is great. Salem is really neat, too.

There's lots of neat caverns in northern NY along the thruway that wouldn't be too far from you. There's the Rockinghorse Ranch, the Catskill Game Farm.. Great Escape (amusement park of sorts, I believe).. That's about all I can think of now. I was a big fan of daytrips when I was younger, too, and it gave me some fond memories with my parents.
