Looking for cheap weekend getaways with your girlfriends or sisters?
Look no farther than a city near you - you can drive (splitting the cost of gas and saving airfare), stay downtown, and enjoy a sightseeing trip, theater, a shopping weekend, and much more!
Cheap weekend getaways are perfect for a women's vacation. If you have family obligations, spending a full week with your girlfriends may be a bit indulgent (in terms of both time and money).
But you don't have to deprive yourself of the bonding experience of a girlfriends weekend getaway or a mother daughter vacation.
A weekend getaway - in a city near you - is a great way to spend time relaxing and re-connecting with friends or family.
You don't have to live near a large city, either. While New York or
Chicago
have tons of things to do, smaller cities have a lot to offer, too.
I've written about my hometown,
Milwaukee
, as a great place for a weekend with the girls. While it may not be high on anyone's list for a week-long destination vacation, it's great for an inexpensive weekend getaway (in Milwaukee, we know cheap!! And we're proud of it!!!).
Charleston, SC and Lexington, KY are also good weekend destinations. All you need are a couple of days with your friends, a couple of activities, some good food, and you're set!
You'll want to spend most of your time "catching up" with everyone and what's going on in their lives; leave plenty of time for just relaxing around the hotel pool or lingering over a glass of wine.
Pack your bags, call your friends, pile into the car - and go!!
