The funeral is over, the stroke victim is in rehab so now is a time for vacation. I am thinking long weekend. I will be traveling by myself. I may want to drive if I am going to an area I have not been to before. I do want to go somewhere I have not visited before.

I have been to the following cities; Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Burlington, Montreal, Quebec, Dallas, El Paso, San Antonio, San Diego, Pittsburgh so they are out of the running. I am not wanting a major city but do want to visit a city with much to do. Interesting cuisine and wine a plus along with museums and galleries. When I travel alone I do not do much night life. I am looking for a walkable area that is photographic.

So please share your favorite cities. I do want to spend more time at the destination than getting there. I do not want to spend a large amount of money since this is more for mental health break. Nothing on the scale of going to Paris.

Thanks for your tips and suggestions. I live in Ohio so East of the Mississippi is what I am thinking.
