We all occasionally grow weary of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and those Calgon baths just don’t take us away like the commercials say they do. Many times, we long for a vacation, but a big trip is not always in the budget. Fortunately, there are plenty of reasonably priced places to go for a relaxing getaway in Kentucky. We have beautiful small towns with unique attractions and mouthwatering food that can help relieve month’s worth of stress in just a few days.
Newport should definetly be considered when planning a 2-day relaxing getaway in Kentucky:

Newport You cannot cover Newport Aquarium in an hour, even if you are rushing through. There are so many different exhibits and activities available, you will want to have at least 3 hours to wander.

After an active day at the Aquarium, end the visit with dinner on the river.
Mitchell’s Dining at Mitchell’s Fish Market at 1 Levee Way #2129 is a great way to enjoy a late lunch or early dinner. The view of the area is spectacular and the food is perfect. If you are spending a few days on the river, you might as well enjoy the bounties and view it provides.
