any ideas/suggestions on somewhere to go or something to do with family this weekend. Have a 4 y/o daughter and would like to do something for her. Do not want to travel too far due to it only being for a weekend, dont want to spend the entire time in a car.

close and inexpensive is Children's Museum and Natural Science Museum, aquarium in N.O., the McClain Center in Birmingham, my wife's 5th grade class goes there every year

Memphis has the children's musium and a good zoo. Weather looks great too.

I actually like the Memphis zoo better than New Orleans. Also tons of shopping In Memphis area and of course great Bbq.

MS Petrified Forest...my daughter like it quite a bit....especially camping out...

The McWane Science Center in Birmingham is great. You could also go to the zoo the next day.

WW2 museum & aquarium in NOLA.

+1 on the WWII museum. Should be a requirement that everyone at least go once.

Take her to the park in V'burg.

Just stay in close by and find a hotel with an indoor pool. Get her a floatie. I just about bet she will have more fun at the pool than anything else. The Drury Inn on county line has one and they give you a good little light meal for supper, a couple of light drinks in the evening and a pretty good hotel breakfast.

If ya a bowhunter and she likes the outdoors take her to the ASA shoot in monroe only happens once yr...gona be alot of stuff goin on there for her/ you to see ....msy strike some interest in bow shooting never too young...good shopping in area and can work your way back to jackson stopping in vburg ride thru the park...posed to be good weather dont spend it indoors...

Pack a picnic lunch and go down to Grand Gulf Park......there's alot of neat stuff there, and my girls still remember climbing all the way up the fire tower. One of my favorite pictures of my now 23 year old daughter was taken on the porch of an old cabin there when she was about 5. Also, like someone else mentioned, stop by Vicksburg and visit the National Military Park.....it's got stuff for everybody.

Enjoy 'em while they are young because they will be grown and gone before you realize it!

my yard needs raking you could tell her you are going to play in leaves.......just trying to help
