Thanks for that. Not a terrible idea.

Looking to go away for a long weekend. With 2 toddlers and a baby. Thursday night until Monday night.  It could be up to a 5 Hour drive from Brooklyn.
Kosher food is a plus.
Minyan.
Any thoughts?

Got me excited! Looks like a perfect place.  Minyan,  kosher food,  and things to do.
How is the weather in the summer?
Would love to hear about something closer....

K I'm in Israel and I'm looking to get away in the summer for about 2 weeks or more. I'm looking for something cheap.
I have already done Israel and I dont want to go to UK.
Where would be a nice relaxing place to go? I don't want a beach town but I wouldn't mind a place where there is a quiet beach.
Also in going with a 8 month old baby.
I have some amex MR and chase UR. I also have 2 Ritz Carlton nights. 60k ihg and 2 Hyatt.
Another option would be to go all out and use everything and go to numerous different places around Europe.
Can I get some suggestions and advice? Especially regarding the kid part.
BTW I don't mind driving if it would work out cheaper than by train. (going round Europe)

six flags is too "packaged"
newport isnt something the little ones would enjoy i think?
is boston interesting beyond the cheap b6 flights?

You'd go all the way to Hershey just for the factory? You realize it's a 30 second tour ?
