Title: Looking for a vacation place. We are looking for Post by: Inspector Vol on February 18, 2013, 09:50:05 EST a place of peace and quiet. We would like to go see some sites. The main thing is peacefulness. Doesn't have to be remote from everything but doesn't matter if it is either. Would prefer something no further than a days drive away from jackson tn.
Thanks for any suggestions. Title: Re: Looking for a vacation place. We are looking for Post by: 101stDad on February 18, 2013, 10:35:20 EST So, what time frame are you looking for? Some "loud" places are the most peaceful and quite you would ever want in the off season.
Also depends on what you mean when you say "see some sights". What type of sights interest you? Title: Re: Looking for a vacation place.

We are not hikers so museums, shows, etc. It will be in the next 2 or 3 months or so definitely not the off season. Title: Re: Looking for a vacation place.

You can stay at one of the barrier islands with good beaches. Drive into Charleston and find great restaurants, museums, historical sites, the SC Aquarium, etc. Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island, Edisto Island (a little farther away) are great places to relax. If you go during tourist season, the summer, the crowds will be there because it's a vacation destination. But even then, you can find peace and quiet on the islands. If you go during fall and winter, the beaches are pretty deserted. That's when I like to go. Title: Re: Looking for a vacation place.

Within a couple hours of D.C. and all the historical stuff. Williamsburg, Monticello, etc...

Their prices are really good now too.

We usually go to the beach during May because the rates are cheap and nothing is crowded. Surf is usually warm enough to swim...deep sea fishing is good. Disney rates are fairly cheap...
