Going to a wedding in Erie, PA thinking of going to NYC also

"This is just my opinion, but with a 2-yr old who (happily) won't know if you're in Erie or Australia, I would make the best of what Erie and the surrounding areas have to offer and make it easy on yourself. According to the internet, it is 325 miles from Erie to NYC, so that would be about 6 hours you'd being the car with your daughter. So you're basically blowing a day driving, and a day driving back if you're flying/driving home from Erie. If there was a specific thing you wanted to see or if you had an older child who really cared, I would say make a go of it, but I think you'd be happier investigating things closer to your destination.

Looking around, it seems there are a variety things to do with your family that may make for good memories: Waldameer Park and Water World, Erie Zoo, Presque Isle State Park, Tom Ridge Center, Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park, Erie Maritime Museum, Perry's Landing, and there are 2 lighthouses in Erie to visit, too. Also maybe a day trip to Chautauqua, NY through the wine country would be enjoyable. (website:http://www.ciweb.org/). Most of these places are family-friendly and let kids sample grape juice while you sample wine --if that's your interest. Just a thought...

Also, if you're really set on going somewhere else, places closer than NYC include Columbus OH, Youngstown OH and Pittsburgh PA.

Hope you have a terrific trip and good luck with whatever you decide!! "
