your ideas needed please

I have spent the last 48 hours on the web and drawn a blank.

DsD 17th birthday on 17/02/07.
Dumped by boyfriend 3 weeks ago, now sulking as no plans for birthday.

She has asked if we, as a family, could go away for a few days. '
I'm sure we can' blurts out of my mouth before I have realised that its half term and valentines week. The cost is:eek: !!!

There would be me, DH,DsD and my adult student son. 3 seperate sleeping rooms needed, Hubby and son not related, no chance of shareing.
Where can we go? or what can we do?
Total budget £500 for us all.

any ideas welcome .....UK or abroad

    Thanks sloppychops. :j

    I will play around with the dates. I have to be back to work on the Wednesday, and both 'kids' should be at college on the Monday. I will ask both if anything important happening.
