That's not true, we're going to Springfield and Branson at some point in the fall!
I'm outside of St. Louis, but work near the city.
I live in Springfield! What are you coming here for?
I got some free tickets to SDC, so we're thinking of driving over on a Friday, going there on Saturday then Sunday morning on our way back home going to Fantastic Caverns and Bass Pro in your town. Real exciting family vacation I know! But I want to wait until after summer so my now 22 month old is possibly a bit more behaved. Doubtful, but we shall see. Do you have any other places you'd recommend for a 4 and 2 year old?

I am completely baffled by these "upstate NY - by the PA border" responses.
Is this like people say York is "central PA" instead of where I live, which is actually more the (north) middle of PA?
I grew up in upstate NY, 10 minutes north of the PA border. Pretty much anyone above NYC is considered upstate. Living in other places, and saying I'm originally from NY, EVERYONE automatically assumes NYC. "Wow you don't have an accent at all!"
I just moved to an area ~30 minutes from Gainesville. What is the best thing to do for fun around here?? I'm considering doing some meetup.com things to try to get out and meet people.
a lot of the stuff I do for fun around here is nature related. We love to walk along la chua trail to check out the alligators, visit Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, etc. Sometimes we go to St. Augustine Beach, bc it's the closest one that's good for swimming.

New York is weird. I grew up in St. Lawrence county and, man, you'd better not be callin it 'upstate'. It's 'the north country'! People get offended if you say it wrong!

One of the first things we did when we moved here in October was join the aquarium. We have been having more fun exploring MD- Annapolis, the coast, Frederick, etc...then heading into DC.
Oooh I love downtown Frederick! We have family there, and I love visiting them and poking around all the shops and restaurants. There's also really great camping out there in Thurmont.
My cousin lives in Frederick and I love going down to visit her.
