Brunswick, Georgia is a nice city with a small town feel that is close to a lot of cool places.
Letchworth State Park in Upstate New York is a GREAT place for all kinds of outdoor fun. It's also close to Niagara Falls for another excellent day trip.
We find our vacation spots by determining which area of the country we want to visit, and then look for small towns/cities nearby that have interesting things to do.

I find places I want to visit by reading Civil War, old west and WWII history. This is one example of many.

Take your umbrella, you'll prolly need it. In August, the "monsoon" season is present, rain pours down from the heavens. 'Course you're used to rain, living in WA
August 1974, a pal and I spent two weeks driving around AZ The only day it didn't rain...was when we were in Tombstone.
My sister lives in Scottsdale (Phoenix suburb), warned me about August...but...after we returned to CA

Vacation?
Vacation???
Vacation this year is moving Megan into Virginia Tech!!!
Ian -
Nice house!!!!!!
John,
It's a little bit of a drive for you, but, Jackson (aka/ Jackson Hole), Wyoming is a FANTASTIC place to vacation!!
We were out there in July and the temps were in the 90s, but, the humidity was less than 10 percent!!
Oh Man!!!! GORGEOUS!!!!
Mid July. Mid 90s during the day. . . . 25 to 35° at night!!
Just laying back, in the pool, and look at the mountains, and seeing snow on top of them!!
Horseback riding. Fishing in the Snake River, for trout.
To say that I LOVE Wyoming, is an understatement!!

Thanks for all the tips folks.....keep them coming! And post up your vacations!
Keith, Wyoming is on our list for sure. We're hoping to take the kids on an extended vacation in the next couple of years and go out west. Haven't plotted the course completely but Wyoming is in there for sure.....as is Montana.
As an aside, I'm about 35 minutes from VA Tech so if you all need anything, just give us a ring.

Vacation?............as long as I can do it all in Sat-Sun.
Usually, we would camp in our motorhome at a secluded spot in the Cascades, swat mosquitoes, and reel in fat trout from the boat.........and never see another human for days.

Cody (founded by Buffalo Bill in 1905) is the eastern gateway to Yellowstone Nat'l Park. Cody's Irma Hotel has been in business since day one, has the original backbar donated by Queen Victoria.
There's another firearms museum located at Kings Saddlery in Sheridan WY.
Located near Buffalo WY are three battlesites associated with Lakota Sioux Chief Red Cloud's War: Fetterman Massacre Site, Wagon Box Fight, Hayfield Fight.
The in-famous Johnson County War was fought near Buffalo (cattlemen vs cow-boys). Cow-boy, originally hyphened, referred to a cattle rustler, not to cow punchers, which were called drovers or ranch hands.
Little Bighorn (formerly Custer) Battlefield is located south of Hardin MT
1990: Drove a circular route from Billings MT SE to Hardin, then to Sheridan-Buffalo-Thermopolis-Cody then to Yellowstone, back to Cody, than back to Billings by a different route.
