If you are now considering Europe, this opens up a lot of possibilities. I mentioned Quebec City and Montreal as a budget alternative to Europe. Considering Europe, cafe life, fairly moderate summer weather, museums, and trips to the countryside, I would recommend Paris, with Vienna a close second. Both of these cities will far exceed your expectations.

As I am already doing a driving vacation to Nova Scotia this July I have decided to tack on a few days in Quebec City on the way home. Thanks for that suggestion!
Again, lots of great travel ideas here. Thanks to all who contributed
