Hi, does anyone have ideas for a vacation for my family?
A few specifics:
we would like not to spend so much money
we have 2 babies so cant do much
we live in Lakewood and don't want to travel far-I would say about 2-3 hours max.

Thanks!

What are you looking for in a vacation? Going to the mountains sounds like your best bet. Cooler weather, nice scenery, Kosher food.

Isnt it expensive to rent a bungalow?

When I had a one baby this was a good 2 - 3 day baby vacation with little driving. Its not an exciting trip but was practical for us at the time.

started in Norwalk Connecticut:
Day 1 (or 2 days):
- Sheffield Island Lighthouse - you take a ferry to the lighthouse. We took a carriage on the ferry and there were walkways on the island. We brought a picnic. The lighthouse was not baby friendly - we used a baby carrier.
- Aquarium ( we did not go there but it is right next door to the ferry dock)

- There are many beaches along the CT coast. We went in the evening to one and had supper there and spent time on the sand. It was pretty empty - but maybe it was our luck.
ferry that we used

Day 2 or 3:
- Essex Train Ride - can combine with a ferry but we were nervous would be too hard with the carriage - not sure if it is a problem .
_ Instead of the ferry we took a car ferry to cross the area river. (maybe this: www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=.....99780)
- Gilette castle. Very pretty grounds to walk around. Had picnic there. There is a tour of the castle - but the tour was not carriage friendly. We used a baby carrier.
