Where to go?
I want to take a trip, but have no idea where. How do you decide where to go on a say 2-4 week trip?

We choose a general destination and then look to fill in with extras along the way by using Trip Advisor and just basic internet searches. We generally do things slow and not more than one Museum/site a day and just enjoy not being home. Here are a few last ones for us and fill-in examples (not all inclusive by any means):
1. Detroit-Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield --- fill in Wright Pat Aero Museum (TWO WEEKS)
2. Maine --- fill-ins White Mtn. History Museum in Harrisonburg, Pa, Valley Forge, Cape Cod (THREE to FOUR WEEKS)
3. Key West -- fill ins St Augustine, Fl.;Kennedy Space ctr; UDT-Seal Museum Fort Pierce, Fl; West Palm Beach and Miami; Ft Myers (Edison and Henry Ford Summer homes), Everglades (SIX WEEKS, two in Key West and rest at various fill in locations)
4. Richmond - St Petersburg Va. - various Civil War things including Jeff Davis White house and museum with fills ins to Charlottesville, Appomatax, Staunton (Pres Wilson Library, Frontier Culture Museum), Poe Museum. The Museum of the Confederacy is OUTSTANDING. Also various plantation houses and historical homes if you're into those. (TWO WEEKS or more depending)
5. Norfolk, Hampton, Va Bch. - various museums and sites like Norfolk harbor cruise, USS Wisconson BB and naval museum, Jamestown (NPS and Commerical sites), Yorktown,Portsmouth museums/sites (TWO RELAXING WEEKS OR MORE)
6. Williamsburg (need about a week becuase many live demonstrations are only done on different days so this is a very slow trip, but you can fill in with things near by maybe like Jamestown/Yorktown)
7. Outer Banks - wild horse tours, some museums like Museum of the Atlantic, Lost Colony NPS site, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Whalehead museum, and general sight seeing (TWI SLOW WEEKS)
Here are a couple more:
1. Biloxi/New Orleans (Casinos,etc) also Gulfport, Ms (do attraction search for examples) (TWO WEEKS)
2. Nashville/Memphis - you have done some here but I bet there is more you missed if you dig around. (TWO WEEKS) This one is on our plate to do and will in include the Titantic in Pigeon Ford and "THE ARC" attractions along the way to or from.
