OT: Long Weekend Thur- Sun getaway?
- Thread starter yesrutgers01
- Start date
Glad you made an appearance here...
What about the area down by Washington College? Do you think @yesrutgers01 and bride might like it there?
Chestertown is pretty boring. Not a lot to do. Kent Island is nice.
Isn't Maryland on the quarantine list when you return to NJ? Personally I need to avoid those places.
RI might be on the quarantine list also. They were a few days ago but haven't looked since. I went down to DC and Maryland a couple weeks ago and those places got added when I was already down there.
If you don't mind going a little further North then Boston, Salem, Portsmouth, Kittery, Kennebunkport, Oqunquitt, and Portland are also great places.

Rhode Island was removed from the list. Maryland and 30 other states plus Puerto Rico & the Virgin Iands remain

That is a super weird video..I think maybe you can rent a room at the post office..
We stayed at Angel's of the Sea in CM in the off season and had a great time. Other than that, we love Block Island off the RI coast. There's not a ton of things to do which is the beauty of it all. Quiet, great scenery and a very chill island. It sounds like you want more attractions/things to do, but it's a great place.
lol, that video is bizarre! Trust us, they are doing themselves an incredible disservice with that video. Cape May is a great town, although I probably wouldn’t stay at Southern Mansion purely after seeing that. They need to fire whoever put that together.
Lifeguard sounds like a tough job there.
"The Cape May Beach Patrol conducted 48 rescues of swimmers in the ocean during the first two days of August, Saturday and Sunday, according to Marino."

It's clearly someone that got a drone for Christmas (note that it is winter) and wanted to put it to use. Probably shouldn't be on their website though. Almost makes it feel like the house in The Shining in some ways - which means you definitely would not want to stay there.
I've been to Newport, RI twice and Cape May once for vacations in the past, I recommend Newport. As others have said, not sure what the current restrictions are but there are countless Bed and Breakfast options. Decent beach, great restaurants, usually great live music, the mansion tours, etc. Lots to do in 3 or 4 days.
The last couple of sentences is the same thing Cape May has. Plus CM has the lighthouse and a WW2 bunker at Cape May Point St. Park , carriage rides plus history, history and yes, more history.
Have you ever tried the Skylands region of NJ? Its the northwest corner of NJ and to tell you the truth until I moved up this way I had never seen it. Once you get up in sussex county you do not feel like you are in NJ anymore. I was always a Jersey shore guy but I am slowly being enticed by Sussex county and enjoying that area. Completely different than the shore, not as congested and you feel like you are in the mountains. You should check it out for a few days then give us your review.
We had actually considered some parts of that area as a place to set down roots on our next home. One negative- diversity.
But, for a nice beautiful area, it is great. It may not fall into the same exact region but a place we love is Lake Hopatcong
You are wrong. Everything in cape May is bikable and walkable. It is nothing like Paterson lol
We’ve stayed at the grand a few times. Best overall hotel for price. Nice pool and close to beach and bars
It’s a very steep drop at those beaches unlike OC or some of the other south shore beaches where you can walk out pretty far
Went to Newport about three years ago on a budget. Was recommended by a friend to stay at the Howard Johnsons in Middletown (right outside Newport). My wife immediately said no to a HoJos but it has almost 5-star reviews, plus like I said, a friend suggested it. We ended up trying it out. It is a completely renovated hotel, like brand new. Super clean, free parking, very safe area within a very short drive to Newport and local beaches. Again, it's definitely not the Ritz, but we did not spend much time in the room and the price was by far the lowest in the area. https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/hojo/...-johnson-inn-newport-area-middletown/overview
A different friend just spent the weekend up in Dennis, MA on the Cape. Said it was a quiet, lovely town and really had a great time. Seafood could not be beaten Here is where he stayed, he highly recommends it https://www.sesuitharborhouse.com/

Not sure I want to go quite that far up. LP is a hike if you are going up on a Friday and trying to be home by 4 pm on Sunday. 3 hour drive may be our max which puts us just about at Newport.
Cape May was also interesting and like I said, the suggested hotel really looked great until watching that video. And even if it is a nice friendly neighborhood, there is nothing in my relaxing weekend getaway that says view of the post office.
Plenty of other hotels in Cape May including a few across the street from the beach. Older , newer , historic, plenty of choices.
What do you mean by "diversity"? Diversity is open to alot of interpretation.
We are in lake george, ny now. Lots to do if you like the outdoors. The temperature in the lake is great. You can stay in a busy spot like lake George Town or any of the resorts up to Bolton landing depending on how busy you like it. Most drives are less than 15 minutes. Our resort gives out free paddle boards and kayaks.
That word has a singular definition in our current culture. Lack of diversity can only mean too many white people.
White man bad? you may be right. But all the places being touted are majority white by far. Lake George, Cape May, etc. are whitey whitesvilles. If he is looking for that kind of diversity may I suggest Minneapolis, chicago, San Francisco, Baltimore, or any other democrat controlled hellhole city!
Newport Marriott, or you can try 1 of the new places, Hammetts or Brenton, as all are within easy walking distance to everything downtown. Viking Hotel could also work or they have a ton of smaller hotels and B&Bs. Hike the cliff walk and drive around Belvue Ave and Ocean to see the insane gilded age mansions and private houses. While your wife may not be into museums, it's pretty cool to hit a tour of the Breakers, Elms and Marble House mansions (marble house was closed a few weeks ago but the other 2 were open; bring headphones/ear buds and download the Newport preservation society app for the audio tour.) Hit Easton's Beach, which is $15 to park and the only beach you can currently use unless you pay for a pricey season's pass at some others. They have a bunch of water activities, like different sailing options, wave runners, parasailing, fishing, but book early, either online, call them or stop by the Wharf when you first arrive. Restaurants should also be booked ahead using open table, Rest, Google, restaurant websites and calling, or you may be waiting a while. They have outdoor seating and some indoor seating now. We liked Black Pearl, The Mooring, 22 Bowen, Diego's, Brick Alley Pub, but there are a ton of other restaurants.

A neutral definition regardless of any culture would be too much of any one majority, whatever that majority might be.
diversity = plurality (or as close to it as possible, i.e. no majority greater than 50% of the whole)
lack of diversity = homogeneity
With that.....IBTL
Why not Bar Harbor Maine as well? Just a handful of hours north of Portland.
OP asked for a 3-4 hr driving radius. Anything north of CT is outside the range.
Second vote for Sussex county. Mineral Springs resort and spa is very nice and reasonable. Absolutely great hiking and scenery. If you need water there are a couple of state parks with really nice lakes with uncrowded beaches. Culinarily not so great but La Tour restaurant next door at Christal Springs Resort and Golf Club is a four star restaurant but a bit pricey
