[quote=Anonymous]My spouse travels for work, and sometimes he'd be gone for 2 weeks at a time. I used to do mini road or rail trips with my kid as a toddler, starting at about 2.5.

What we like is hotels. :) Room service, no cooking, no cleaning. Extra points for an indoor pool. Check into the hotel, chill out, I'd let my kid watch cartoons (which we don't often do at home) while I read a book. We'd find somewhere for an early dinner then get takeout dessert for the hotel room. Room service breakfast is expensive but a treat -- and if your kid is little, you really just need to get a big breakfast and split it. If that busts the budget too much, go find a cafe. Then we'd do sightseeing stuff in the AM, grab some lunch, come back to the hotel to chill out for a few hours (nap). A swim in the pool, showers, and then dinner.

Philadelphia is a nice trip with a little kid. Not more than a couple of hours in the car. I'd play audiobooks, we'd stop midway for "treats" from Wawa (a fruit cup!!). The Please Touch museum in Philly is lovely for little kids. You can take the train to Philly but it's hard to get to Please Touch without a car.

Train is nice to NYC, though.

We also did a trip to Raleigh, slightly longer drive. Luray Caverns/Front Royal is within range, or Harpers Ferry, if you want a more country/outdoorsy kind of vibe.[/quote]
