Parental Escape! Where to go for a 2 person vacation???

Apr 12, 2012 3:35 AM

My husband and I get to drop our toddler off at grandma's this June for a blissful weekend without kids. Because of time restraints though, we need to stick to the Colorado/New Mexico area. We love to be surrounded by greenery and mountains and wilderness. This is the first time that together we will get to wake up without a baby/toddler needing our attention in about 3 years. Any ideas on where to stay? We love hiking and outdoorsy stuff but I'll be 7 months pregnant and a bit limited on activities. I really don't care about price because it'll probably be another 3 years before we get another weekend together. Anyway, any ideas on towns or even better... where to lay our heads at night? Ideas on activities would be great too!

Vegas. Just go.
There are huuge amounts of sights to see that don't involve gambling and/or drinking. Especially those type of places. Cruising Circus Circus or Luxor is kewl by itself.
You can stay in your room for the weekend; pick one with a view, and you can live on room service and takeout if you want.
Don't even drive- go outside, wave down a cab (or have the concierge get you one) and go anywhere.
I almost always hit up Ripleys, and a few new shows when I go.
Go see KA. You may need a scarf to keep your jaw from dragging when you leave. If Blue Man is still playing see them next.

This is where we will be staying on our upcoming trip to Denver:

We'll also be attending a baseball game and have tickets to a comedy club. Denver is the perfect combination of natural beauty and party possibilities.

What about Santa Fe?

Look at Bed and Breakfasts. They are cheaper (most of the time, but have a more homey feel. Plus, every one that I have been to had a fabulous staff and are usually in pretty neat places.

Add: We try to stay by/in state parks, as that is where we go hiking a lot. I included links to tourist bureaus, so you can find the state parks link there. Some have cabins, and that is fun.

Enjoy!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
