Labor Day Weekend suggestions needed
I'm not working next weekend  , didn't even realize it was the weekend before Labor Day. Now I see we get an extra day to have fun so I was thinking maybe we should go somewhere.
Summer's last trip. Youngest is 3 and can't stand being in the car long so what would you all suggest? We live about an hour from Louisville in SE Indiana. Maybe something within 4 hours?
Where can we go with 3 kids in about a 4 hour drive?

Indy Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, St Louis Zoo, all are great. I hear the new Rain Forrest exhibit at Mesker Zoo in Evansville is awesome. Mammouth Cave, Beech Bend Park, Kings Island. Holiday World may be in your back yard but thought I would mention it. Just a few things I thought of really quick that is within 4 hours of you.

The Plymouth Blueberry Festival is pretty cool.
Marshall County Blueberry Festival in Centennial Park, Plymouth
Maybe spend a day at the Indiana Dunes and Lake Michigan and then check out the festival (which is about 90 minutes from the Lake)? |

Oh....and I second the St. Louis idea. The area is full of tons of great things for kids and adults alike. You could easily make a weekend of Ted Drewes, City Museum, and the (free) zoo.

I was going to suggest the Blueberry Festival. It's supposed to be something else. I remember going there when I was a kid when it wasn't much of anything.
