Thanks again everyone for the ideas and advice!

I certainly will.  This is so, so sad.

Lynn, thanks for the recommendations!  I saw Wilmington on the map, and thought that might be fun.  Two hours is definitely do-able.

Thanks for the advice!  Sounds like we will be able to keep busy without driving too far.  I will be travelling with an 18 month old.  The State Fair sounds neat!  Thanks again for the tips!
