HAPPY

My g/f and I are looking to get out of town for the weekend.

Anyone have any suggestions of where to go within say 5-6 hours of TO.

Also, if you suggest a city, pease let me know what there is to do there, any sites, and shows, events, etc. - basically stuff to keep us amused.

Thanks All!

Peele Island I think it's called... just do a google search for it cuz I've never been there, but my friends have gone and loved it.

K - I'm thinking about going to Ottawa and chacking out Winterlude...always wanted to skate on the Rideau so it may be fun...

Anyone ever taken in these festivites??

step dad lives in ottawa...

i find it kinda dry, but its great to take the girl there for some "fun" , very relaxed environment.

I personally would go to Quebec city and stay in the old part of town by the water, but that is more like an 8 hour drive

HAPPY

Well - I'm only going there for Sat and Suun...I'm assuming with Winterlude going on there is atleast something there to look at for a few hours???

ROB THE BRUCE

don't get me wrong there is stuff to do, i meant dry as in its not really a party place, but you'll have fun with your girl.

Dunno if you wanna spend a fair bit of $$ but me and my gf went up to the algonquin park area and there's a lot of inns there. We stayed at this one in march about 2yrs ago. No kids and ****. Just couples.

Ottawa is a cool place, I lived there for 4 years.... Winterlude is nice, and there are some cool cafes you can check out, and little restaurants on Elgin as well as the Market. Tour the Parliament bldgs, or you can just go to Chateau Laurier and just have sex all weekend long in the finest hotel in Ontario probably (I know TO has some good ones, and Banff has some REALLY good ones)

HAPPY

Well, I just made reservations at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. I talked to a girl here at work that says it's a nice place so we will see...

...and it's only now I realize this is the place you suggested bb...

Cool.

I only hope it's not -50 or some **** cause we want to be outside for some of the wekend.

Rice Burner

Have fun. And yeah I hope it's not -50 or they'll be alot of movie watching going on! LOL

if ya get bored, hit Kingston on the way back and check out some of their "ghost" tours..
i was gonna check it out this past summer, but ran outta time..
i forgot the site tho, but a search should find it..
they have one at the old fort too....

SpikeyLee

I was gonna suggest the weekendtrips.com web site but Cosmic beat me to it!

I've been wanting to go to Winterlude the past couple of years just coz it looks like fun!! The last time I went to Ottawa was a couple summers ago with my g/f and I had a blast there! Since I was there in the summer I can't tell you how bad the winter is in Ottawa firsthand, but I've heard that it's cold like a b|tch! lol

You may want to in the hotel all weekend where it's warm... but then again that might not be a bad thing at all.
