Getaway ideas




Lucas and I are hoping to take a trip together before baby #3 arrives. Does anybody out there have recommendations for an affordable, relaxing destination? I would love a beach, but our budget is pretty tight and so we'll need to drive there from NWA. I'm willing to get creative, though. So if anybody knows of any scientific studies in teleportation that would to take us from Arkansas to, say, the Canary Islands, Spain or Goa, India or Anguilla for a week... I think we'd consider giving it a shot. :-)

Seriously, though... any good ideas for getaways out there, friends?

What about down by Talihina in Southeastern OK? There are some really good couples getaways down there.

One of our favorites (that is drivable and not going to kill the budget) is Kansas City. You can usually find good hotels for a decent price right on the square and there is always something going on. It isn't the beach, but we always have fun there.

We went to Highlands, North Carolina for our honeymoon and LOVED it. We stayed for free b/c we had friends with a mountain home they let us stay in (wish we were close enough to them still to hook you up!). It's a really small town full of quaint, fun shops, and lots of beautiful nature and waterfalls around. But it is a drive :)

If you can't go very far, a B & B anywhere makes for a nice, affordable (depending on the place) getaway...we went to Eureka Springs and really enjoyed it. :)

Bribe Aunt Carol and Uncle Billy to leave their home for a few days and stay at their house - pratically on the beach! It would be like a condo adventure (plus two stuck up cats!)

Good luck with the planning! You guys are so creative I know you will come up with something awesome.
