August road trip

[Anonymous]

Have a week off in August, husband is dead-set on taking the dog and making it a road trip .... not excited about this, but as I've planned/picked most vacations, trying to run with it.

Where should we go from NoVA? We love/have done Outer Banks/Rehoboth ... NYC not great with a dog. Any ideas?

West Virginia?

Hudson Valley?

Do you like outdoorsy stuff like hikes/water sports?

[Anonymous]

We like hiking, kids are fantastic swimmers, haven't tried many water sports?

Where in West Virginia would you go? Wondering about Pigeon Forge or Dollywood as well?

Go to great smoky mountain national park and Dollywood. Do the under canvas there.

What kind of dog?

My Pomeranian, not very outdoorsy, only likes hotel stays and city walks. LOL.

Definitely think Great Smokey Mountains is a great idea. Just find dog friendly accommodations.

if DH is dead set on a road trip, he can be the one to plan it.

August? Go north for a chance of nice temps. Upstate NY. New England.

NYC is awful in August. With a dog? Definitely not.

I don’t see how you could take a dog anywhere but the beach. Or like, a lake I guess? A cabin in the woods?

Head north in August. Adirondacks, White Mts, Finger Lakes, Vermont. All are pretty dog-friendly.

Ours is a sled dog so we take him to Maine.

Too hot for him elsewhere

This sounds great IMHO.

Aug is too hot for a road trip.

Pawleys Island, SC, is very dog friendly.
