1fynz Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Maumee Bay State Park, its right on lake erie and has a lot of amenities. Its the most expensive of the Ohio State Park resorts, but they have a lot to offer, especially once summer is in full swing. https://www.maumeebaystateparklodge.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I am pretty sure cedar point has some neat cabins right on the lake. Btw, I only mentioned Hocking Hills because The Grouse Nest is worth the trip all in itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramped for a 5 person family but i suspect plenty of room for both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig71188 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Lexington, KY - do the "Bourbon Trail": http://www.kybourbontrail.com/ Erie, PA - Stay in town - visit Presque Isle State Park: http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/presqueisle.aspx Akron/Canton area, tour some Ohio Wineries: http://www.ohiowines.org/maps.shtml Many of the Kentucky State Parks are nice for a weekend - some are a bit older, but smaller and quiet & less expensive than many of the Ohio parks. Cumberland Falls has some great hiking trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff1647545513 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Smoky Mountains? Only a 5 hour drive. Something like this. Maybe around Asheville NC. Quite a bit to do around there and the drive isn't too bad. What's the furthest you're looking to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Toronto is an 8 hour drive, but its technically an international journey to the 5th biggest city in North America. I've had some seriously good times there too, the entertainment district in that city is unbelievably fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hal, does private and relaxing mean secluded? Because I've always liked just going to another major, but relatively close city - like Indianapolis or Cincinnati - getting a hotel downtown somewhere, and just fucking around for a weekend. I was going to say the same thing, Maybe Chicago? Stay at a nice hotel downtown, go out to eat, hit up a cubs game then go out and party and just have fun with your lady.

Can I assume this is the 4th time you have failed to be of any assistance to the members posing this question? Oh wise one, please bestow your knowledge upon us. Your research of the other 3 threads should make you a god damned expert. What do I get for looking to not drive so far? "How about we go to Charleston (SC) again?" That's a fun 10 hour drive. Thanks for most of the suggestions, I'll see if she likes any of those better. Maybe she will and I can avoid the drive down to SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choke on what? Should I choke on your fragmented failure of a sentence? I think I'd rather ask a fresh question, with my own input and parameters, than look at the responses to Paul and Buck. Maybe when you can understand that there is depth in an ongoing conversation, rather than reading a dead thread, you'll understand why people ask the same type of question multiple times. I'm assuming that basic concepts like that just go way too far above your comprehension level. GTFO of my thread you useless prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I was going to say the same thing, Maybe Chicago? Stay at a nice hotel downtown, go out to eat, hit up a cubs game then go out and party and just have fun with your lady. I was going to say Chicago, but I thought it is too far away for a weekend getaway. You have figure it's at least a five-hour drive one-way, so that means a good chunk of time would be spent just driving there and back. Not exactly fun. Don't get me wrong - Chicago would be my first choice for a city that's relatively close to go to for a visit, but I reasoned it was just too far away. (I'm also assuming here that Hal will be driving, not flying.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right to infer that I wouldn't be flying with distances so close. We usually drive for our weekend getaways and then fly for the bigger vacations.

I've had some seriously good times there too, the entertainment district in that city is unbelievably fun. Toronto is the fifth largest in North America? I know the top three are: New York Los Angeles Chicago And the next three (in US, at least), I think are: Houston Philadelphia Dallas Yeah, now that I think about it, Toronto does seem like it's that big. I know it's very diversified. I'd recommend visiting it for sure - though I think it's too far of a drive for a weekend getaway type trip.

Guest Hal Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Is there anything else in Canada within the 8-10 hour drive range that is good? Windsor is probably out, unless there is good stuff for an adult couple to do (excluding gambling and strip clubs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right to infer that I wouldn't be flying with distances so close. We usually drive for our weekend getaways and then fly for the bigger vacations. Chicago and Charleston are totally on opposite ends of the spectrum, IMO, for weekend getaways. If I just want to chill, I go to Charleston, I think. If I want a ton of shit to do, I go to Chicago. Also, I'd think - all things being equal - it'd cost less to do the weekend in Charleston than it would in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windsor is probably out, unless there is good stuff for an adult couple to do (excluding gambling and strip clubs). It's been a few years since I was in Windsor, but, no, I don't recall there being anything there worthwhile beyond the casino and some strip clubs. Windor kind of reminded me of OSU's campus - the junky part (i.e., what all campus looked like before they redid the Gateway District). Just a bunch of crappy, college-esque bars, flyers on telephone polls, and gimmick shops. And I can't think of anything within a 8-10 hour drive in Canada beyond Toronto that I'd go see. Also, while I'm thinking of it, do you and your woman have passports? If not, then forget about going to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
