I've got 5 vacation days to burn and no idea where to go. Hopefully this thread can help my wife and I out.
We're looking for somewhere not too cold (a.k.a. < 40 degrees Fahrenheit) or too hot (a.k.a. >80 degrees Fahrenheit), within about 8 hours driving distance of central-southern Pennsylvania. She likes urban settings, I like the outdoors. We enjoy people-watching, architecture, music, and history. I would like to keep the budget under $250 a day including everything.
Any ideas? We're hoping to avoid Philly and NYC, as we've been there a lot and are looking for something fresh. Thanks!

You will get much more response if you re-post over on the United States Forum.
Yes - this board is for general travel planning questions like yours where you don't have a specific destination in mind. But - the USA board has a hundred times more traffic than this one.
Good luck.
Will do, janisj.
