What about Hawaii? Sometimes you can find good packages on Groupon-type sites. My friend also just did a Hawaiian vacay package through Costco that she said was awesome.</p> <p>I also second @Mrs. Taco, Arizona can be awesome. San Diego is great, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319924 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 20:11:05 +0000 littlecasita1122 1319924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to San Diego a couple years ago in February for our babymoon and loved it! So much fun. We stayed for 5 nights, but I could see you doing a long weekend instead. The zoo was pricey but totally worth it if you spend a whole day there. So many good restaurants to choose from and lots of different neighborhoods to explore. The weather was perfect in Feb - high 60's to 70's, low humidity. We did a LOT of walking, but I was about 22 weeks and felt amazing at that point so it was okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319847 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:27:48 +0000 MrsB2012 1319847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about San Francisco? It would be a cheap quick flight from where you are. There's tons of things to do, and tons of really good food. It would be a pretty pregnant friendly place to go. There's good shopping and you could rent a car and head out to Sonoma or Napa Valley for a day. My husband and I went a few years ago ( he proposed on that trip ) and it was a really good time.<br /> Hawaii would be warmer, but might be a bit of a long flight if you're just going for a long weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319824 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:12:59 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1319824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: What about AZ? Like Sedona or Scottsdale? Never been but I hear their spas/outdoor activities/restaurant are awesome. </p> <p>FWIW...I went on a cruise in the early stages of my pregnancy and it was not fun. I was sick and the boat only increased that. We cruise a ton (live in FL so don't have to fly to sail) but if I had $2k and was already flying, I would totally do something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319816 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:09:03 +0000 Smurfette 1319816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mexico?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319815 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 19:08:51 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1319815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hawaii is pretty easy to get to from the west coast and is wonderful all year. My vacation there was super relaxing (for me, DH was there for work :wink: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319771 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 18:52:26 +0000 chopsuey 1319771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Have you been to CA? Lots to see and do in the LA area. Weather's really nice right now too. </p> <p>Or Vegas? I don't like spending more than 2 nights there. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319766 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 18:48:47 +0000 coopsmama 1319766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @chopsuey: We would be flying out of Spokane, WA which is kind of a bummer! I guess I should have included that info in my first post :)</p> <p>Our interests are extremely wide -- I could see us enjoying a lot! We love beaches, good food, good drinks (well for hubs anyway!), sightseeing/exploring, amusement parks, shopping, and are mostly just looking to relax (2 babies in 13 months is draining hehe) and enjoy each other! </p> <p>@brownie: thanks for the ideas! Adding to our list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319751 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 18:41:35 +0000 chopsuey 1319751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where do you live? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319586 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 16:56:42 +0000 brownie 1319586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Universal studios in Florida or Disney world/land can be fun as adults (and next month is a slow time). So cal in general with attractions, piers, museums etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319569 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 16:50:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 1319569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where are you leaving from? What are your interests? Groupon has had some good travel deals lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-long-weekend-vacation-ideas#post-1319505 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 15:46:32 +0000 coopsmama 1319505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was recently gifted a nice sum of money and while most of it will be going towards investments -- I've decided I want to put $2-2.5k towards a short vacation for DH and I. This will be our first vacation together as we never went on a honeymoon so I want it to be special and memorable. It will also be our first time away for LO and will serve as a babymoon, too, as I'm due in July with #2. </p> <p>So.... ideas?? We're hoping to go next month over a weekend, think Thursday-Monday. We're willing to fly. At this point our only idea is a weekend cruise with Royal Caribbean but wanting several fun options on the table before we decide! TIA! :happy: </p>
