San Diego!

I  know!! I feel like we always go to either northern or southern CA, so I am trying to branch out this time. Give that other coast a chance

I vote New Orleans! Super interesting city, lots to see and do, and close to cool nature-y stuff if you're into that. And it's a good time of year to visit.

Mmmmm, and the food!!

Is Colorado off the list entirely or just Breck? Because we'll probably get a boatload of pretty snow loooong before the tourists arrive for thanksgiving this year....

Aspen? Vail? Steamboat? C'mon!

Dude, preaching to the choir, here!

He first vetoed Aspen because it is a pain to get to (kind of true). We settled on Breck because it is so easy to get around - I had the house picked out and everything! I am still working on him, he sprung this on me last night when I asked if we could book flights. I had big plans of wine in our private hot tub looking at the mountains...

He is being a pain in my butt - full of vetoes and no ideas.

Vail is awesome and easier to get to than Aspen! It's like a little European village.

I haven't been since I was young! We used to drive out to the mountains growing up, but I haven't been in YEARS.

Where would you recommend as a home base?

Either Astoria if you're looking for a quirky town or Newport if you're looking for a few more things to do (at least I know there's an Aquarium there).

But I also loved the trips I took with my mom and grandmother to Savannah and to Charleston. We were there for a long weekend in each (different years), but in a week you could easily do both.

OMG!!! You did not say that Astoria is where The Goonies took place!!!!!! I did not put two and two together. This is critical information that could have a major impact on this decison!!

Lol, LOVE the Goonies . I think we're going to spend the first weekend in October there with DH's family (though BIL wants us to go to Newport).

I know you said continental US, but could you do Canada? Whistler is beautiful.

[TrudyCampbell]

Having nothing to do with me living here, I vote New York. It's an expensive place to visit and you have it for freeeeeeeeeee.

The Oregon coast, it's personally one of my favorite places.

And a place I've always wanted to go but never have is down south and visit old Plantation houses, get a real good feel for the south.

Where would you recommend as a home base?

I love the Oregon Coast but the weather sucks in the winter :/ I would stay in Cannon Beach or Newport not all towns are open all year
