I need advice on where to go for our 1st yr anniversary!
Ok, I'm really at a loss now! We're planning to stay local, because we're house hunting and don't know what will happen by October.
I was originally thinking of going out to the North Fork and spending a long weekend there, but then didn't think there would be a whole lot to do.
I then wondered about going back to Montauk, since we love it there and try to go once every summer. But I've never been in the Fall - anyone know if there will be enough to do?
We're not looking for anything too crazy, but enough to keep us busy for a 3 day weekend. I know some areas out East close up on the off season, but assume that's more in the winter, rather than October.
Any suggestions/advice? Other recommendations of places close by?

I was just on BI earlier this month - I thought about it, but it's quite a hike by ferry from LI, and wondered how the waves would be in October
Shelter Island is definitely a thought - thanks! Has anyone been out there in the Fall that can tell me what it's like at that time of year?

What about a little upstate? The leaves will be beautiful at that time.
A few years back we went to Cape May New Jersey. I havent beent thee in a while though.
I fyou really want to go out east, there should be some place that doesnt close up in Montauk.

We went out to Montauk in October once and we had a nice time. The weather was cool but we enjoyed walking around the shops and a ride out to the light house. It's quiet that time of year but not dead by any means.

DH and I were just talking this weekend about our 1st anniversary in October. Since we just bought a house - money is a little tighter and so is vacation time (we are getting work done in the house so we are taking most of our vacation then). DH said he has a great idea for a weekend trip but won't tell me. We are kind of holdingh off to see our money and vacation time until we get closer though.
What about the Warwick area - upstate NY? It doesn't take long to get to and in October - it should be beautiful. I went a couple years back and loved it. We stayed at a B&B and went apple picking, visited a vineyard, went to a pumpkin farm and they had some really nice restaurants for dinner. I would recommend it!

I second Mohonk, it's beautiful! Possibly Newport, Martha's Vineyard,or the Hamptons?

hmmm - will have to think more about this. Upstate is a good idea, but I'm not too familiar with towns and all - where exactly is Mohonk? Any websites you can share?
LI's East end would definitely be easy - that's for sure But the foliage might be nice at that time.....
thanks everyone for your help!
