Looking for some vacation suggestions for my wife and I. We are in our early 40's and like to be outside, hiking and she also likes artsy stuff so I can handle that for a couple of days. I have two weeks of vacation, the week of the 4th of July and the week after. Budget of approximately $2-3k, but could be more to see something interesting. We've been kinda stumped on what to do, so looking for ideas. We're from WI if that would make a difference. Thought about driving to the east coast to see Boston/New York/Vermont areas, also thought about Grand Canyon or Yellowstone park areas, figure Grand Canyon may be a little warm this time of year. One other thing she wants to see are the Sequois (sp?) trees. Any recommendations??

Give your opinion to the question asked and then shut the fuck up...
Florida in the summer? Yeah, if you like bugs and heat/humidity that keep your clothes stuck to you like saran wrap.
Pit Row
But show this place to the woman,it's pretty neat.

And they even got ORV 2 wheel stuff during the summer.

The countryside is beautiful, great food, friendly folks good times.
The wife and I flew out there, with a room and a rental car for a long weekend for under a grand. It is much more relaxed than say, Vegas and if you dig good music I would say better talent.
Rushmore is great, if you don't go on a bike or a convertible you will miss half of it. There is so much above the header of your car that you don't see there.
Take this to a left on 87 (Needles Highway) Down 87 a bit is a really nice stop by a lake. Continue on 87 and then take 16 into Custer. You can then take 385 up to Crazy Horse and or the Custer SP game loop to see Buffalo.
When your done in Custer, this is my favorite part of the whole area. Take 16 back East of where you came in on 87 to
Alternate 16 "Iron Mountain road" You drive through short tunnels that they cut the tops out of trees on the other end. This gives great different views of Rushmore. There also these bridges called Pigtails. It takes you back to Keystone.
