Is there any amusement park that can even come close to WDW or DL? With WDW it's one stop shoppping ... everything is right there. I am looking for something that could last a week. I am due in September and by the next time we are able to take a vacation the baby will be 1 yoa and dd will be 3. I am just looking for some place different for a weeks vacation. I think I could talk DH into going to someplace that has a beach, but with a really nice city and things to do besides go to the beach and fish (which he doesn't do either). We live just outside of Ocean City, MD which is a beach resort and in our opinion (probably because we live and work here and know the ins and outs) isn't all that great. I remeber as a kid going to Panama City, FL and Myrtle Beach and having a lot of fun. I know that both have grown in size in the past 15 years so there's probably more to do, but have they grown less desirable also? I would love to go to Texas or any of the other gulf states. Actually, any state below Maryland would be nice. I live for warm weather!
