Newport is nice in the fall, too.

Old Quebec is lovely in the early fall before it gets too cold.

This sounds nice.

Denver. Mountains cool air Boulder is artsy and fun and a ton of day trips to little towns within an hours drive. Cheap and easy to fly there too.

Boston or Bar Harbor

If the 4 days includes travel time, I wouldn’t go to the west coast. You’ll spend half your time getting there and back.

What time of year?

Any time except the summer, I'd choose Vegas or New Orleans. NYC is great all year long. I also recently took advantage of a flight deal (southwest airlines) and flew up to Rhode Island for a long weekend. Newport is lovely in the summer.

It really depends on what you like. Big city? Natural parks? Disneyworld?

I hate vegas, but I know some people like it.

Vegas, if you see a big show at least 2 of those nights.
