Vacation ideas for parents

Does anyone have a recommendation for a weekend getaway, preferably within a 2-2.5 hour driving distance from Long Island. My parents 35th wedding anniversary is in November and my brothers and I want to get them a mini-vacation.

My dad is terrified of flying and cruising or we would have sent them to the Bahamas where they had their honeymoon. Any romantic ideas? We want to treat them because they own their own business and have not gone away on a vacation together in a long time.

Mystic, CT is nice too! We spent 2 nights there in Decemeber & really liked it! Mohegan Sun isn;t far form there, so maybe if they like Casinos, they could do both!

Re: Vacation ideas for parents

are they wine fans at all?? theres a winery in NJ, near atlantic city called renault winery. their site

they have a gorgeous hotel there, plus two really nice restaurants right there, and a golf course. the winery itself is pretty secluded, but AC is about 20 minutes away if they want to check that out, plus ocean city is about the same distance and they could stroll along the boardwalk or whatever.
DH and i stayed here the night we got engaged, and we went their last year for our 1 year anniversary, it was a really nice, romantic weekend...

What about Newport, RI? If you take the Orient ferry it's not too far of a drive once you get off in CT.
