Hey all,<BR><BR>I will be getting my master's degree in three weeks and I need a reward.<BR><BR>My husband and I were thinking of a weekend getaway to celebrate.<BR><BR>We've already been to Vegas and Solvang and are looking for other weekend destinations within driving distance. <BR><BR>Have any ideas? I was thinking San Diego.....<BR><BR>

What's wrong with heading for the airport? Seattle? Vancouver? San Francisco? Even NYC! Each can be done on a 3-day weekend. Congratulations!
