Joy,

If you can't make it down to northeast Florida (you would love St. Augustine!), then I most highly recommend a stop over in Savannah.  That's were we go when we want to get a weekend getaway.

Great food, and absolutely fascinating architecture & quirky folks. Remember the Garden of Good and Evil?  Great place just to take long walks and enjoy the neighborhoods and squares.  

Enjoy!
