Staycation
My dh is off next week starting this Sunday. We have never really done a "staycation" we either go away or stay home and do tons of work on the house where you wish you were at work!
My goal is to have a fun filled week with planned activities and outings. I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. I was thinking sesame place and the aquarium in riverhead one day. Any other fun suggestions you girls have recently visited or done?

Re: Staycation
childrens museum of the east end. IMO so much better for your childs age than the one in Garden City.
Vineyards, we usually do Osprey or Pindar with the kids. We go with another family, pack lunch, buy a bottle or 2 of wine, pack stuff for the kids (soccer balls, crafts a board game or two, bubbles etc) and spend the afternoon picnic-ing
ETA: there is one out there with a small petting zoo (cant remember which one though) but that one you cant bring outside food

OMG they are wonderful!
Palmer
Macari
Martha Clara
Osprey Dominion
And check out Love Lane in Mattituck
You can bring food to the vineyards - pack lunch, snacks, bring a blanket in case there aren't chairs available. Most have live music on busy days.
You will love it! Bring cash for farm stands and such too -- along the way there are great farm stands and different merchants selling local goods.

We just did osprey on Sunday. I like that one bc there's a huge grassy field with picnic tables and umbrellas. We pack tons of food and spread out a blanket with toys for dd. Palmer is nice too and we've done the same with food and toys. I'd look for a day they're having live music too.

Re: Staycation
As an alternative to the Bronx Zoo is the Queens Zoo. We are planning on going there next week.
There is also the Long Island Game Farm in Manorville. This weekend they are having $2 admission.
