Help me pick.....

I am trying to think of a good place to send two friends of mine who just lost a family member for a two or three day get-a-way. They are both bluegrass musicians/husband and wife. Would like to be somewhere east of the mississippi river.

Any thoughts?

Since both of them are bluegrass musicians, and you want to send them east of the Missisippi River, how about Scotland and Ireland, where bluegrass music supposedly started.

Sure keep going east and you can hit Hawaii too. Few just a few days I'd say skip the music theme and hop a cheap flight to Florida and enjoy warmth.
