It would depend on if it were just me or all 5 of us. If it were just me, I might go hang out at the park and read a book then meet friends for lunch or a drink. If it were all 5 of us, maybe go to the beach or out for a hike at a local nature center.
I have thought of the beach or a winery on LI. One of those could be fun. Or maybe a massage/spa day- even if I go spendy, it'll still be cheaper than a hotel room and a flight, right?
eta- I want to plan something special for Brad. He's getting really burnt out at work lately and needs a break that doesn't need to be planned in advance.
Ooh... I actually have one of these coming up. It's a day all to myself.
I plan on getting a pedicure (my first one ever, they will need power tools), then taking myself out to a nice lunch (with no one stealing my food or trying to color on the table) and then some shopping (OMG, I'll have time to try stuff on).
I haven't had a day to myself in a very long time.
I would go visit Mags in NJ and go to the beach, drinks, and dinner!
Best idea yet!
We're actually going to the shore this summer. I believe we will be near you, BUT my whole family will be here. We're doing my grandmother's memorial there. Ocean Grove was her favorite place.
I'd lounge around a coffee shop in the morning and read, then go for spa services, then go to the beach and relax there and read some more, then go to a nice dinner.

If it were me, I'd head to either the beach or Portland for the day and then decide once I'm there if I want to stay overnight. But you're on the other side of the country so that won't really help you...
