    I came across a post by Joseph from Sukkos 5769, but figured it would be great to start a thread for Sukkos 5770.

    Let’s just keep to the topic, and post ideas!

    I own a summer home (nothing big – nothing fancy – just nice and cozy). I plan on going upstate for Chol Hamoed. My kids will enjoy romping around with the others more than the synthetic fun provided by rides and the likes.

    squeak? You speaking to me? I do pay full tuition (4 kids in school) and I do not have any government programs.

    I agree with your attitude, by the way.

    I’m sorry if you took me seriously. I thought especially with the tone of the banter today you’d take it as a big haha. Though your attitude is commendable.

    Speaking of Chol Hamoed destinations….

    Does anyone know where the closest shuls are to Cape May, New Jersey? Are they in Atlantic City? Anything closer?

    I didn’t realize there were shuls in Atlantic City…. do you attend services before or after you lose your pants? 😉

    i like going to the slideshows. i think that these big amusement parks are a big waste of money. and a good idea would be to bring your kids to the boardwalk and let them play in the sand if they are little and if they are older they can shpatzeer.. i did this for many years and its proven for all ages!

    My husband rented a car for two days of chol hamoed. We want to go somewhere nice and not expensive like all those circuses they have advertised all over. I live in Brooklyn does anyone have advice?? I heard of rhode island but i am not sure i am going to enjoy seeing a bunch of old mansions…. I need a good idea—

    Why don’t you try Bushkill Falls. It’s a beautiful place to spend the day and see Hashems stunning handiwork. You can spend one day at the falls and another day biking or boating on the Delaware river. Great family fun!

    You can stay in one of the many rustic and quaint lodges in the area. I think you will find them rather inexpensive.

    I’ll gladly assist you further if you wish.

    How about the Museum of Science and Industry, it is supposed to be fantastic for children.

    Or maybe go up to Lake Dillon & rent a boat. Talk about a view!

    Thank you so much for all the ideas. Leider- Are the bushkill falls near the delaware river??

    Gavra- I googled Lake Dillion and so many things come up. Would you by any chance know where it is located or any details. This sound like my line of interest.

    Yes, Bushkill is very close to the Delaware River. From Brooklyn you would take the I-80 until you hit Pennsylvania. Bushkill Falls is a short ride from the river.

    Google Bushkill falls.

    It is not far from NYC. Perhaps 90 minutes. It is not far from Dingmans Ferry and Port Jervis.

    Once there, Strousberg, PA and surrounding area is also beautiful. A trip to the top of Mt. Pocono would be nice, if your into this type of activity.

    What is everybody planning on doing this Chol Hamoed? What is there to do? I heard there’s a few concerts. I’m still deciding.

    wolf: you must be joking!! school???!!! I am so happy to be outa that system, please dont ask me to go back there. My life is better without those teachers.

    Gavre: I am still waiting to hear about this place Lake Dillion. Where is that and do you know any info. I would appreciate it.

    Poshita Yid: My opinion is that instead of spending all that money going to concerts go on an outing with the family. The memories are fantastic. One time a year have fun all together.

    #662216

    I still want to know about this Bushkill place

    I didn’t ask you (or anyone else) to go to school? Poshite Yid asked what people were doing over Chol HaMoed. For me, the answer is working and going to school.

    I’m sure it’s very nice, and I have little doubt that I’d love to go and bring my camera along — but I *still* have to go to work and to school.

    Sorry.

    Poshite yid? Did Lipa Schmeltzer inspire you to choose that SN by any chance? Show him some loyalty!

    I could recommend some places but they’re south of the border.

    You could see the pyramids of Teotihuacan or Xochimilco. Actually Mexico has a very big tourism industry. Oh and there are even a handful of kosher restaurants!
