Have you thought about going up to Sleeping Bear DUnes, Traverse City, or anywhere in Western Michigan? We love it up here. So beautiful. We used to live in Columbus, and would do atleast one long weekend a year up here. Lots of fantastic little coastal towns with cute shops, gorgeous beaches. Lots to see. Of course, there is always Hocking HIlls, or even Indianapolis can be fun. Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is probably about that distance from you. We just got back from a weekend there. Have fun whatever you decide!
