[quote name='AmanoUsagi']My boyfriend and I are off from school and work in the next 2 weeks. We want to go somewhere or do something interesting. We have been together for over 5 years now so we have done movies, restaraunts, and all the other regular activites. We are 24 and 25, live in upstate NY (near Albany), don't drink, and don't want to go any further than 4 hours by car. Any ideas?[/quote]
So I guess the wineries at the Finger Lakes are out, the Finger Lakes themselves are still nice. Here's some more ideas:
Adirondacks - Beautiful mountains, and will have some good fall foliage in the next couple of weeks. Same could be said for the White Mountains of NH and the Green Mountains of VT.
Montreal - Neat cultural city. Historic old Montreal is very cool. It's only a few hours away for you, but you'll feel like you're half a world away since barely anyone speaks English (openly).
Niagara Falls - Might be pushing your four hour limit, but worth the drive if you've never been.
Boston - Some cool sights if you've never been. A little further and you could visit Cape Cod / Martha's Vineyard.
Atlantic City - Or Foxwoods Casino, Monhegan Sun in CT if you're into gambling.
