sk yourself this question....Does being cooped up inside for so many long hours in the winter because of the rain or snow make you and your children feel like going stir crazy like the mad hares in March? We have the antidote, a quick weekend getaway!
Many hotels and resorts are running fantastic specials this winter with occupancy down and the need to fill rooms ever present; they are offering some terrific deals which can be snatched up at bargain prices. Here are some great ideas: why not visit an upscale hotel that normally caters to businessmen during the week and at the weekend you might find their glorious indoor-pools all to yourself. Alternatively, why not visit a cultural hotspot such as Monterey, CA featuring the world-famous Sea Aquarium where you might not be able to get a room at the price you can afford during the high season and take in those galleries, theatre performances, and some much needed therapy shopping for an ultra sophisticated and also educational getaway. Perhaps city living has got you down? Head for the hills and rediscover the fun of a cozy fire in a country inn while sipping hot drinks and toasting marshmallows with the children (such as the Poconos in Pennsylvania). Feeling the need to exercise and get your family outdoors,, then why not check out a new winter sport, such as cross-country skiing, snowboarding, or even ice fishing (check out the Forest Suites Resort in Lake Tahoe, CA, a wonderful family getaway with specials for longer stays from 15% off 2 nights, 20% off 3 nights, or 25% off 4 nights). For some summer weather in the middle of winter head to Florida for a seaside family vacation. The Renaissance Festival in Deerfield Beach is a wonderful day’s activity for your family and available in winter months!
Many inns and bed and breakfasts cater specifically to sports aficionados and you can easily find the one just right for you by entering the key word in our amenity search at www.LanierBB.com. The best antidote to feeling homebound is a quick mid-winter getaway. Maximize your time by perhaps packing on Friday, getting up early on Saturday and getting on the road to make the most of the next two days, catch dinner on the way home Sunday and then fall exhausted, but happy, in your bed feeling like you’ve had a real vacation and escaped those dreary winter blues while the price is right!
