Need anniversary ideas

We've been going back and forth about whether to go away or not for our anniversary (A Sun through Tues trip probably). Well we've decided we'd like to do something. But something that's not too expensive.
Some ideas were:
Atlantic City
Foxwoods or Mohegan (but they're a bit pricey)

I guess that's about it. Where else might be nice?

Do you like wine? DH and I have been to the Finger Lakes twice. We stay at a bed and breakfast on a winery and then hit the different wineries (there is a Seneca wine trail and a Cayuga wine trail).

It's cheap to taste- like $1 to try 6-8 different wines (free if you end up buying). We also like the state parks- there are many and it's inexpensive to get in.

The place we stay at is called The Manor B&B. It is on the Castel Grisch Estate Winery in Watkins Glen. The town of Watkins Glen is cute and there is a dinner cruise out of there that is excellent.

Early May is sort of the off season, so I bet you'd get good rates. If DH and I didn't buy so much wine it would have been an inexpensive trip, but most wines are very reasonably priced. Let me know if you want more info. I have a lot of sites bookmarked on my home computer.

Here are some sites.

Castel Grisch with a link to the Manor B&B

This is a good restaurant in Watkins Glen that also has dinner cruises.

Here is a general Finger Lakes site.

Another.

There are two big wine trails (one along Cayuga and one along Seneca) and a small one along Keuka. Ithaca is on Cayuga Lake, that's a fun place to see too. You can FM me if you have questions.

Aww I went to college in Ithaca and it is so much fun! I would love to take DH. There are a bunch of waterfalls you can swim under...It feels so amazing sitting on rocks as the waterfall pounds your back. And the wine tours are fun too. Watkins Glen is cool to walk the gorges, and check to see if they still have a light show on the rocks at night. One word of caution--check to see when Cornell and Ithaca College graduations are--you don't want to be in the area then! If you wind up going in June check reunion dates at those colleges--it is going to be very busy in June!
