It's a massive flea-market style store and my god they sell everything. It's all brand new and self serve. We've got some of the best wine glasses from there for like $2. </p> <p>Every time we are in the area I want to stop and get stuff for our home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703870 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:28:13 +0000 mediagirl 1703870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooooh. Williamsburg is a GREAT idea! I don't know why I didn't think about that. The good news is M is pretty happy just walking around right now so we could totally do a self-guided walking tour. And that lego place? Heck yeah. 3 hours from us and 3 hours from them. Perfect!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703837 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:08:32 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1703837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: @mediagirl: I second Williamsburg! Great town. We've stayed there overnight a few times while passing through, and loved it. Chloe had a great time too, and she was 9m the first time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703822 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:03:27 +0000 cmomma17 1703822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: I already told DH we are planning a vacation there when LO is big enough. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703817 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:02:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1703817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I think that is so cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703808 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:58:23 +0000 cmomma17 1703808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: okay now I want to move to Williamsburg just so I can go to that brick place all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703748 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 18:18:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1703748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a quick search for things to do in Williamsburg with toddlers.</p> <p><a href="http://beyond-bricks.com/" rel="nofollow">http://beyond-bricks.com/</a> - a place to play with legos for $5/kid. Parents play free</p> <p><a href="http://www.jamescitycountyva.gov/recreation/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamescitycountyva.gov/recreation/</a> lots of parks</p> <p><a href="http://www.williamsburgwalkingtours.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.williamsburgwalkingtours.com/</a> historical tours. Children are free.</p> <p><a href="http://www.piratescove.net/" rel="nofollow">http://www.piratescove.net/</a> My favorite putt-putt place ever. I know M is young, but my parent's took me to putt-putt at that age. Of course I didn't play properly, but there is video of me enjoying it. The only downside is people being impatient and snippy.</p> <p>Bush Neck Farm - pick your own blueberries.

I've never been there but I've heard good things. </p> <p>Sticking with the Virginia theme, I really love colonial Williamsburg. That might not be fun with toddlers though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/playing-with-the-map-somewhere-fun-between-baltimore-and-raleigh#post-1703710 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 17:46:06 +0000 mediagirl 1703710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to meet up with our friends who live in Baltimore. They have a 2.5 year old, we have a 2 year old. We don't want to drive 5 hours and we don't want them to have to drive 5 hours either. Where should we meet up in the middle that would be a fun place to spend some time with toddlers - in July or August?</p> <p>We would prefer a place that has free or cheap things to do - no Great Wolf Lodge type things. </p> <p>So, help me search the map. Where can we meet and what can we do? </p>
