If you are sitting around this summer wondering what to do, deciding between laying out or going into your pool or cleaning the house, or maybe even cracking up that book you got for your birthday, maybe you should try a getaway to the 1000 Islands instead. There will be lots of fun, sun and good times for both you and the family to never forget! So put that book down, grab that lotion and get in the car for a fantastic getaway to the 1000 Islands.

The 1000 Islands features Alexandria Bay which is a place of year round beauty and calming waters. There are gift shops, casinos, go carts, a drive-in theater, an ice arena, and boat tours as well as a boat museum, island tours, a scuba shop and park, and much more. There are grocery stores as well as other shops near by for convenience. There is also golfing and fishing places offered. There is something for everyone.

If you are looking for a place to stay, they offer everything from campsites to bed and breakfasts and hotels as well as resorts. They also have restaurants and night life places that offer a variety of fun and food for everyone (http://www.getaway1000.com/redirect.htm?www.alexbay.org).

Also offered at the 1000 Islands is the “Ideal American City” of Watertown, NY. This has a little something for people who do not mind being outside and getting a little wet and dirty just for the fun of it. They offer parks, zoos, museums and more. Also, at the Islands are a Boldt Castle with one hundred and twenty rooms and a breath taking view (http://www.getaway1000.com/).

There is literally a little bit of something for everyone within the 1000 Islands. So, cover up the pool, put away the cleaning supplies, gather up the kids, and head to the 1000 Islands for a getaway you will never forget. It is filled with great views, adventure, great food, sites, and more. You will not regret your getaway to the 1000 Islands!
