St. Louis

City Museum - amazing
We enjoyed all the museums and zoo which are all free. Art Museum, zoo, science museum, etc…

Enjoyed the food except the St. Louis style pizza.

Milwaukee
Discovery World
Art Museum
River Walk
Beaches along Lake Michigan. Can rent paddle boats.
Seven bridges park is a beautiful walk to the lake
Lots of good restaurants

Philly and NOLA with kids
Asheville and Newport could be with kids but I would prefer without

Detroit.

Great museums, downtown is nice now, a few really cool downtown hotels.

Also great restaurants, too!

Not far away is Dearborn with the Henry Ford museum, Greenfield Village and the factory tour.

It depends on what you want to do.

Me? I'd go to Bar Harbor. Do some hiking, eat some lobster, cool off from the heat.

If sticking to places within a few hrs plane ride (which I would recommend since it’s just a long weekend so you don’t want to spend a lot of time traveling)
New Orleans
Asheville
NYC
Philadelphia
If you like the beach, somewhere on the gulf coast of Florida

Actually, St. Louis and Pittsburgh we have really enjoyed. Never thought I would but there’s a lot to do and good food and more affordable accommodations and attractions than bigger cities/more popular tourist destinations.

You could easily spend two days doing Henry Ford/Greenfield, get some buddy's pizza and catch a Tigers game

Cleveland is great, good museums, Rock Hall,

Pittsburgh also good
