Posted January 3, 201114 yr I was wondering what some good ideas of cities for a possible summer vacation. Looking for a nice downtown. We have been to Chicago (loved it) New York ( Nice, but enjoyed chicago more) Pittsburgh (Nice City) Washington DC (A nice trip) Baltimore (Enjoyed the waterfront) and Annapolis(Nice town) Toronto (Enjoyed that) And we have also been to Niagara Falls Something not to far due to travel by car. Travel by train is also a possibility. Thanks!
January 3, 201114 yr I dont know if we should do this, the last person who asked for advice didn't use it. You know who you are! >:D :P :whip: What about Philly?
January 3, 201114 yr How about Montreal? I really, really enjoyed it. It's an active, hip and very old city with a very slight language barrier.

January 3, 201114 yr Philadelphia seems like a good possibility, thanks! Boston seems interesting too, what do you guys think?, but the drive is getting a bit long.

January 3, 201114 yr Asheville, NC is great in the summertime and being up in the mountains it is not as hot as the rest of the state. Downtown is probably better than you would assume. Virginia Beach is another option with Richmond and Norfolk not that far apart. You could shoot over to Williamsburg as well. I love Boston in the summer too.

January 3, 201114 yr Montreal has a historic district that beats the crap out of any in the states IMO.... save for maybe the French Quarter
January 3, 201114 yr I dont know if we should do this, the last person who asked for advice didn't use it. You know who you are! >:D :P :whip: What about Philly? You take that back. We did end up using some of the things you suggested. Besides, sometimes you have to let the wife decide what she wants to do and just go along for the ride.
January 3, 201114 yr Montreal has a historic district that beats the crap out of any in the states IMO.... save for maybe the French Quarter Yeah, it was pretty amazing in scale. The historic district was really cool... but a little mundane in how touristy it was. Quecbec City is about 2 hours past Montreal. Quebec was a neat city in it's medieval type charm but again, a bit too touristy. Here are some pictures from our trip. We stayed in the Latin Quarter which was really cool and a tad seedy. I can take these down if they are distracting. Where we slept: Latin Quarter: Historic District, cramped like German Village: Modular home
January 3, 201114 yr Philadelphia seems like a good possibility, thanks! Boston seems interesting too, what do you guys think?, but the drive is getting a bit long. You can take the train from Cleveland to either city. Philadelphia may not require a change of trains by the time you travel. Quebec was a neat city in it's mid-evil type charm but again, a bit too touristy. Oh you kids kill me sometimes...

Let the wife decide? What kind of man are you? Who wears the pants in your family?! One good backhand slap will straighten her out! Did she say the "love, honor and obey" portion of your marriage vows?

Travel by train is also a possibility. Thanks! Out-of-State Family-Friendly Trips: *Montreal + Quebec City + Ottawa *Michigan's Upper Lower Peninsula (oxymoron, I know) i.e. Mackinac Island & Sleeping Bear Dunes *Kingston, Ontario + Thousand Islands *Philadelphia + Cape May, NJ + Ocean City, NJ *Boston + Portland, ME + Cape Cod *Burlington, VT + Adirondacks *Milwaukee + Wisconsin Dells *Asheville + Gatlinburg, TN *Charleston, SC + Hilton Head + Myrtle Beach Any of those will keep your family happy.

January 6, 201114 yr yeah honestly for a family summer vacation i'd skip the cities for the mitt of michigan. seriously, for families nothing beats that. stay in traverse city and explore from there.
January 20, 201114 yr I second Northern Lower Michigan. M 22 is probably one my most favorite Scenic drives. It touches many areas and the coast line is beautiful. Also, Harbor Springs, Petoskey...Actually any place on the west side of Michigan is nice in the summer.
January 20, 201114 yr I triple the Michigan recommendation. We have stayed in Grand Haven, and Ludington with the kids. Both were great! The beaches are what shocked me as the remind you of an oceans beach at some locations.
April 10, 201114 yr What are your guys thoughts on Vienna? This doesn't fit the requirements I made for this summer trip, still trying to decide where to go, but for a future trip?
April 12, 201114 yr Looks like you won't be going to Vienna since Big Clueless said he was there. ROFLMAO! Your loss...but Vienna's gain. You probably should think about getting a job first
